Any repair or maintenance work will be performed by Volkswagen trained technicians only using Volkswagen original parts.

Volkswagen retailers know how important peace of mind is. By taking advantage of the specialist services, your retailer is able to check every Volkswagen approved used car against the large information databases that exist for your protection. This way, we get to know the full history of a vehicle and can tell whether it has been stolen, involved in an accident or has any outstanding finance.

To demonstrate our confidence in the vehicles we sell, we undertake to replace your vehicle with one of a similar value (within 30 days or 1,000 kilometres from date of delivery), should an irreparable fault occur. Terms and conditions apply and your Volkswagen retailer will be pleased to supply further details.

When you take delivery of your Volkswagen approved used car you can rest assured that your vehicle has been fully serviced, if a service was due within three months or 5,000 km.

Regardless of how confident we are, a test drive is always the most persuasive sales argument. That’s why every Volkswagen approved used car is ready and prepared for a test drive, so that you can experience it for yourself. In line with our Volkswagen Safer Measures, our retailers can also arrange a contactless test drive if required.

Part of buying a new car often involves selling your current vehicle. To make life easy, our Volkswagen retailers will evaluate your car and provide you with a fair trade−in offer.

Before a car becomes a Volkswagen approved used car, it must pass over 100 individual checks. Our factory trained technicians conduct a thorough inspection both inside and out, noting and resolving any defects that may appear. This inspection covers a wide range of checks from mechanical, electrical, under bonnet, vehicle underside, bodywork as well as wheels/tyres checks and ends with a full road−test. You will receive a detailed written report which you can examine.
