I’m looking at a GSW TDI with 50K on it, CPO from a dealer. The carfax has a lot of annual state inspections listed and other stuff but no sign of regular maintenance intervals except for the one done by the dealer to prep it for resale.
I know carfax doesnt always get maint reported if it was an indie shop or even DIY. I’m not sure why anyone would do that since first few oil changes should have been free. When dieselgate broke, I know there were people that wouldnt even spring for an oil change until they did a buyback.
Not too worried about the car itself since its a CPO but is there any way to know if the engine is ok other than a compression test?
How involved are those to do on the EA288?
Thanks
