Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at 168,980 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The Arteon was positioned above the Passat as a more stylish saloon and in 2018 commonly came with VW’s 2.0 TDI and a 7‑speed automatic (DSG) gearbox. Diesels of this era can suffer DPF and EGR soot build-up if mostly used for short urban trips, and some versions use AdBlue/ SCR dosing — check whether the car has that system and that it’s been maintained. The DSG needs periodic fluid/filter changes on schedule to avoid costly repairs.
- DSG gearbox service history — confirm the transmission oil/filter was changed at the recommended interval (roughly every 60k km on many VW DSGs).
- DPF condition and evidence of regular long-run regenerations (look for repeated short trip use which clogs the DPF).
- AdBlue system: check for the filler cap, recent top-ups and any dashboard warnings about the dosing system (if the car is Euro 6-equipped).
- Turbo/intercooler and inlet for signs of oil/soot leaks or reduced boost (common after poor servicing or extended town use).
- Underbody and rear-subframe/arches for corrosion — 8-year-old cars in Ireland often show surface rust around wheelarches, fasteners and suspension mounting points.
