Hello all,
I'm currently at the end of a lease on a MK8, had the van from New - lease is finishing in November. I've loved having this, no issues whatsoever in these 3 years.
I'm looking to buy my next one and I can't see any good reason why I woukd t go for the exact same thing - MK8, roughly 2 to 4 years old.
May I ask the forum - what is the verdict on these as they get older? I'm mindful I've only seen the best years of my current van (brand new, warrantied etc), so I won't know any recurring or well known pitfalls of them as they get older.
Are they considered a decent vehicle as they get older? Am I right in looking at this model as a decent pint for the next 8-19 years or so. I cover about 20k per year City miles. I'm aware of keeping the DPF cleaned etc as I have to do this on mines now.
PS I'll only be looking at the standard diesel Euro 6 engine, not hybrid or electric etc.
Many thanks in advance.
