Title: Buying s3 advice
Post by: M7AXB on March 09, 2015, 02:01:44 pm

Alright!

Just wondering what's best to check, ive had a mk5 gti and an edition 30 so know the usual things to check but, I stuck on one aspect.

The car I'm looking is on 33k 09 plate. It's been serviced 3 times in that period but the mileage between two services in two years equates to around 2500 miles. Would that put you off the car? Other than that it looks really clean from the pictures so hard to tell without travelling 300 miles for a look!

Cheers
Max

In short, no. Might mean that the car just wasn't used for a year as much as it should be. Only way to be sure is to go look at the paperwork and drive it to see how it feels.

It wouldn't put me off, my MK5 did 2,400 miles between MOT's last year :sad1:
