Hi Ken

One simple way to check, is remove a bulb from say the rear light cluster and if it says Side light lamp out on the dash (or something like that)

then you have can-bus.

But it depends why you want to know, as any car that can be used with Vag-com has some sort of can-bus, as that how it talks to the ECU, but true

can-bus wiring extends to lighting wiring etc
