I would be careful with this , I recently had my 4mo in at vag for my keys recoding as a couple of month ago the remote central locking stopped working I was quoted £49.00 for this 4 hours later I'm still sat there ! I was told it needs a new convenience control module . This operates things like central locking , door chimes , alarms and safety features at £743.53 it's something on my I've got to save for list

Just as any car really , side of the road checks are never brilliant , I bought mine 2 years ago of eBay for £2000 and it's never let me down until electrical prob as above , good luck with it buying a used car is always a bit of a gamble
