Hi All. 

Hoping for some advice. 

Been toying with either an IV or 2.0 tdi. 

Don't do a lot of miles,  so should I be conserved about diesel issues,  and is the iv a more sensible choice?

Seen an IV that's 3 years old,  but 90,000 miles (has the spec i want).

Couple of questions re the IV:

Should I be concerned about the battery life at this age? 

What's the servicing requirements and costs like on these, assume must be main dealer if battery under warranty?

Can I get an extended warranty on the battery beyond the 8 years or 100,000 miles,  and if so at what cost?

Are these going to be reliable at this mileage?

Anything else to be aware of,  look out for?

Thanks in advance

I would be concerned with a PHEV that has done 30,000 miles a year.

I would want to know if it did get plugged in and charged much or just run on petrol averaging 82 miles a day.

 

As it is i would not be wanting a 30,000 mile a year car if just a Petrol or Diesel let alone a PHEV. 

 

The DQ400-e DSG should have been serviced at 40,000 & 80,000 miles. 

Spark plugs at 40,000 miles as well. 

Servicing of the 1.4 TSI PHEV is supposed to be a Fixed Service Regime so Oil & Filter every 9,400 miles but if the engine is doing the 30,000 miles powering the car then likely it was on Variable / Flexible Servicing.
