    Very good video. Personally I wouldn't touch it without the haldex being serviced.
    The mileage is high for a 21 plate car and the wheels damage on the inside would suggest they're not the original wheels or something has happened and not been repaired properly.

      @ dealers run diagnostics on the dsg gear box to see if the seller has ran the clocks back. They also do it in ecu to see if it’s been flashed & had a map/tune. They run through all the software to make sure it’s up to standards or if the warranty isn’t void. That’s why flagship dealers is more safer to buy from. I know someone right now that’s sold a golf gtd with 65k miles on…he had miles blocked out. But if he hadn’t of sold it privately or the new buyer takes it to VW he will find his cars done an extra 20k miles on it. I’ll never EVER buy private I know the car industry too well.

    Re the mystery of the damage to the inside of the wheels. I once misjudged a corner on a country road in my gti and the car dropped down off the side of the road on an approximate 30 cm drop for a few seconds and I bumped it back up while the car was still doing 60mph and the inside of both nearside wheels ended up like this one. The wheels banged off rocks and the side of the road when being steered back up onto the road from the drop.

    With a very saleable car, why, as a dealer, why would you not retail it and pull out the profit?? The only reason to get out of a car like that to trade is because it has problems.

    With the car pulling to one side, I wouldn’t say it’s tracking.
    I think something is misaligned, whether it’s suspension, or chassis/subframe. Something seems amiss.
    With the inside of the alloys looking like that, it’s definitely been “driven”.
    Worth a punt I guess. Be interesting to see an update video on the issues.

    Good luck to them seem like they’re doing it right. They’re addressing Birminghams reputation and people won’t give them a chance. Golf R mk8 have oversize sub frame bushes Calv so tracking needs to be done each time you do anything on them suspension related. There’s a kit you can buy to solve that issue. Someone else made a good point, was it the car steering itself? Most likely hit a kirb and either subframe is twisted or track rod ends etc etc easily sorted out by will at VRS.

Sus as anything to me
