Exactly right 👍🏻

The MOT history wasn't to bad, full service history and only 2 owners. I had a long chat to the seller on the phone, it all sounded promising. Then I got the report.... Bake pad warning lights on Buckled front wheel Bulging tyre by the buckle Oil on the turbo feed pipe Both front suspension mounts damaged Fuel injectors 'damp' Water pump leaking Underside of gearbox leaking Oil filter housing has oil on it Coolant leak Every wheel scuffed Chipped windscreen Other than that - it was mint 🤣 To be honest, I'm not mechanically minded at all - I'd have not even noticed most of that 😕

Thought I'd give you an update.... Contacted the seller of the BiTdi. Asked him if he'd object to a vehicle inspection. He said "no problems." Paid £260 for an RAC vehicle check to be done a couple of days later. Inspection was done and ai called the seller straight away. No answer. Called him again and left a message. No reply. Whatsapp him and got a reply saying: Thanks for your interest - but I've already sold the car. Fair to say I wasn't best pleased 🤣

Thanks Gareth - some really good advice there. It’s coming in at £11k. The more I’m thinking about it, the more I’m talking myself out of it I think. For the same price, I could buy a 3.0 TDi with 50 - 60k less miles on the clock. I’ll definitely apply a lot of what has been said above - to whichever car I go for 👍🏻 Really appreciate the info.

Nice one, thanks. Service history is full - I’ll check out the other things. Thanks for the advice 👍🏻

New member here - I’ve had a good look but can’t find what I’m looking for. Apologies if I’ve missed it… just after a bit of advice please. I’m looking at buying my first Audi. I’ve seen a 2013 BiTDi with 150k miles on the clock. Any common faults or things I should be looking for when I go and see it? Would 155k miles worry you - I need this car to last me 5 years minimum - need it to do me about 14k miles a year… Thanks 👍🏻
