For me I would check the service history including timing belt and water pump. If DSG ensure it has been serviced every 40,000 miles. If it is a DSG I would haggle a service in or price reduction given it would be due in 3000 miles.

Make sure the heater works both sides. If not it might be the silicone bag split issue. Plenty of threads on here about that. I would seek to remove and refit an expansion tank that does not have a silicome bag in.

If you have OBDeleven etc I would check the level of DPF ash.

Much more than that check panel alignment, overspray marks and any changes in colour etc.
