Hello,
Hello,
I wish to buy a used car, and the one that is in my mind is VW GOLF PLUS year 2012, diesel, 1.6 TDI, 77kW.VW GOLF PLUS 2012m, 1.6 TDI, 77kW
Could I ask your opinion on the validity and importance of the results of purchased car history report using unique VIN number: the attached picture shows the left chart which is from the report, and the right one is the idealized version, where the previous owner would regularly service the car and the mileage would be recorded each time. My report has the only record of 150 000km at the time of selling in France ~3 months ago, therefore I conclude that the mileage report is of no use.
From the visual inspection everything seemed fine - high mileage indicating parts, such as steering wheel, pedals, door hinges, show no signs of wear. No irregularly worn tire protectors, no scratches, dents or such. A longer test drive is yet to be done.
If it were up to you, would you still take the car to the maintenance workshop for extra inspection using car diagnostic tools/scanner?
Thank you dearly
