Buying Tips for the 2018–2019 Volkswagen Arteon

  • ✓Inspect the water pump and thermostat housing for slow coolant leaks, which is a widespread issue on both TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines.
  • ✓Check the operation of the frameless windows; they should drop slightly when the door handle is pulled to prevent damaging the weather seals.
  • ✓Verify that the DSG gearbox shifts smoothly without hesitation, and check the service history for the mandatory 40k-mile fluid changes on wet-clutch models.
  • ✓Test the MIB infotainment and digital cockpit for freezing or lagging, as early cars often require extensive dealer software updates to resolve bugs.
  • ✓Examine the large alloy wheels for kerb damage, as their low-profile tyres provide little protection and replacement rubber is expensive.
