Buying used Golf - what should I check?
I'm in the process of buying a Volkswagen Golf Match 1.4 petrol DSG for our soon to arrive expanded family. Is there anything that I should consider before I buy it?

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
