Well, have found out that the car was serviced by a Barnsley vw dealer, (service log is stamped) the dealership were not aware that there were paint defects and upholstery claims made. From what i know it was a dealer demo to start with, 1st owner then sold it back to same dealer.(for what reason i guess he was not happy with the quality build of the car. Dealer then flogged it on to SMC sales (now 4 keepers in total).Ive advised him to walk nxt door from his car showroom to a Vw nxt door and look at the history for himself.
What makes me even more dubious is that why is a top spec GTi not being sold from volkswagen dealer?

.
By the sounds of it, its a reject from a customer, in which dealer sold him same car but total replacement. dealership sells dumped GTi for cheap money. He did sound very surprised and said hes now concered he's been mis-sold a car (hes not a young guy either by the sounds of it).He cannot see any visual defects looking at it himself, although he may say and is rather easy to say that with me sat 150 miles from him!.
i think im gonna take the safe bet, and go for the black GTi, has all the bells and whistles with cashback.
