Hello All,

I'm just about to embark on a possible ownership of a B8.5 2.0TDI 187bhp Avant. It's done 74k miles and I'm a little nervous about buying a car with it's clutch potentially at the end of it's days. So my main question was about buying advice: should I avoid, or are there a few easy tests to see whether the clutch has a lot left in it? If driven correctly, what kind of mileage should I get out of the clutch?

Next, anything else to look out for? Steering judder for the power steering issue? Anything else?

Lastly, can anyone recommend some good Indies around Swindon?

TIA!!
