Mine thing is check all the history, see if it has had a cam belt and water pump recently also check for any record of the oil pump pick up pipe being replaced.

109k is not a lot of miles if it has been looked after.

Looks tidy, take it for a drive, and get it plugged into a laptop if possible to check for codes. But as far as a Golf goes, there pretty bomb proof.

And its been around the Nürburgring :rolleyes:

Call VW and give them your reg number and they will tell you.
