I’m going for a test drive on Saturday 18th January 2025 so wondered if anyone knows any history about the car and what I need to lookout for and check? It’s a 2.0l tdi 150 FR Sports Wagon with 134000 miles.

Check its had a cam belt + aux belt.
Beyond regular servicing my 184tdi at a similar mileage has had:
rear dampers
front dampers + top mounts
front wishbones + drop links
front wheel bearings
discs and pads
heater matrix (check it blows hot air across all vents)
AC re-gas (check it blows cold air across all vents)
dog bone mount bush (engine lower torque reaction arm bush)
Uses about 0.12 liters of oil per 1000 miles - which is 1/4 of the maximum allowance - (seems fairly common)
Also i'm using a little coolant - so I suspect EGR cooler or Front mounted water/air heat exchanger.

 

[Seriously?]

If you like the car otherwise, you might be able to use the windscreen damage and brake disc wear as a bargaining chip?

And rear shocks!
