I emailed the dealer to get the service history and was told that it has had the mechatronic gearbox control unit replaced which is a common fault in them.

The price is just below £18,000. VW used to say to change timing belt and water pump after 5 years but are now saying 120k miles I think. This car hasn’t had a change yet. I just think that buying a car with that sort of miles wouldn’t be recommended without the change as it wouldn’t put my mind at ease?
