Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Start the engine cold and listen for a rattle in the first seconds. A rattle means a stretched chain or a worn tensioner. Ask for proof of chain work.
- If the car has air suspension, check that the body keeps its height after the car has stood overnight. A sagging car means a fault in the bellows or the compressor.
- On a cold start, listen for knocking, and look for smoke from the exhaust. Diesel in the engine oil is a serious warning. Ask for injector records.
- Look for water traces in the footwell and the boot, and for cracked paint at the glue seams of the roof and windscreen. Ask whether the roof drains were cleaned.
- Test the keyless entry from both front doors, with the key and with the handle. Dead antennas are a known fault.
- Run the wipers on a test drive. Both arms should sweep fully and not stop or jerk. A seized wiper linkage is a known fault.
- Check every recall campaign by VIN, including the 3.0 TDI brake servo (2014) and the 3.0 TFSI fuel rail (2015). Ask for the dealer's record of each repair.
