14 plate 100k Golf GTi Performance Pack.

I have the option to buy a 100k miles 2014 Golf GTi Performance Pack. I know the driver, it's been used for long distance commutes and serviced by VW (long life). Planning to keep it for 2 years, what should I look out for/consider and what's it worth?

The fact that it clocked up so many miles so quickly means it will hardly have got cold, so the 20k mile or so Longlife oil services will not matter so much. Ask if he has had to add any oil between services. If not, it's probably a very good buy. I guess there will be some stone damage/paint chips at the front. May be due some fresh discs and pads. Make sure the radar system is working. See more on the Golf VII and Golf VII GTI at www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
