Thanks to the both of you. After some deliberation I’ve decided against it. V5 switched over in Feb 2022, seller also failed to supply a copy of the full service history book after claiming ‘full Audi dealer service history’. After running a check, the car wasn’t serviced with any Audi approved dealer for the first 79k miles. Reluctantly I agree that spending the extra 4/5k is the right thing to do - back to the daily procrastination of looking at Audi’s I want and can’t afford just yet. Thanks again guys - enormous help, this forum has definitely exceeded my expectations.

Thanks for the feedback Gareth, much appreciated. The car has car lease plates on so I’m assuming it’s been a company car - explains the mileage and lack of consideration for tyres. I’ve just asked for all of these details - you probably know better than I, is there a high risk of engine/gear box fault at this mileage? I would’ve thought a 2l diesel with motorway driving could go on for another 100k. But I’m no expert.

Hi guys - I’m new to the forum so hopefully this fits in with the rules. Im looking at a 2013 Audi A3 TDi (pan roof) with 180k motorway miles. Full dealership service history. I’ve checked the MOT history which has only ever flagged tyre problems. Cam belt / water pump changed at 107k. The guy wants £6500 What do you think? What are my main concerns (I know mileage is huge). Is the engine going to blow up?
