Hello everyone! Just put a deposit down today on a white mk2 on a 10 plate with 22k. VERY excited! Not actually seen the car in the flesh but its from a main dealer so im hoping all will be well. Anything in particular i should look for on a car of this age and mileage? still got a fair bit of warrenty left on it so im sure all will be fine!!

Check the very inner edge if the tyres on the front and the back. You'll need to turn the steering full lock to see it. If they're worn, try and get them replaced. Something else, not serious at all, but there has been a recall on the tyre pressure monitor. So you could check to see if that has been done. The wheels tend to bubble the top surface, so that could also be something you might want to haggle on or get sorted before committing to buy.
Other than those little things mine's been ok (59 plate 30k when bought in October). I did have the turbo blow, but that's not common. They're very good cars, very fast and they are very well equiped too. Everything works as it should on mine, but that might be worth checking as you would any car and a test drive too.
Make sure you get some pictures up when you get it anyway!
