What a day, left the house at 8.45am and not long been back (9.30pm)!!!
BUT...... it was worth it, the car was in great condition all round and looks very well for an 8 year old car with 62,000 on the clock (the leather interior is unmarked and looks stunning). I did take the time to verify the millage with VOSA (which matched the FSH). Icing on the cake was a receipt for £1300 from a VW main dealer for the supple and fit of a new turbo just 10,000 miles ago. According to VOSA the only advisory on any MOT on its history is a "slightly damaged front number plate".
I also had the car looked at by an independent local garage who got it on the ramp and gave it the once over.
To sum up:
Golf MKV 2.0 GT TDI 140
Black 3 door
17" Genuine VW alloys
62,000 miles (VOSA verified)
Full service history (cam belt and water pump done, new turbo at 51,000 miles by VW main dealer)
Duel Climate Control
Full leather seats
heated seats
2 keys
Bill £4800 (+£20 for inspection by local garage)
Only slight negative is a slightly lazy start, but I'm been very picky. (oh and some condensation in rear light clusters (on boot lid)
Thanks to everyone for all there help so far
