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?

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.
