Should I buy an extended warranty?

Just been sent an extended warranty from VW. I'd have to hand over £600 and all major componants would be covered, peace of mind etc etc.

But in the small print we have wear and tear - as you know, after 40,000 everything has worn and torn.

Is it worth it?

Probably not, given the wear and tear exclusions in VW's manufacturer warranty, listed here:
