Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a strong buy for a vehicle of this age. The exceptionally low mileage is its greatest asset, provided the recent suspension and tyre advisories have been addressed.
Your primary focus should be verifying that the advisories noted in the September 2024 MOT have been rectified. Specifically, check that all four tyres have been replaced and that the front lower shock absorber bushes have been renewed, as the 2024 test explicitly flagged these as perished.
Given the long periods between mileage increases (for example, moving from 46,487 to 55,843 miles over nearly two years), ask for service history that confirms regular oil changes. Low-mileage diesel engines can suffer from moisture buildup and sludge if not serviced regularly, even if they aren't being driven often. Ensure the timing belt (cambelt) has been changed according to VW's interval recommendations, as this is critical for the 2370cc engine.
