Any repair or maintenance work will be performed by Volkswagen trained technicians only using Volkswagen original parts. Both inside and out, every Volkswagen approved used car is then completely refreshed to a high visual standard. Your Volkswagen Approved Used car will be fully cleaned and sanitised before being handed over to you too.

Terms and conditions apply and your Volkswagen retailer will be pleased to supply further details.

Take your next step

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.
