One of our MK7 GSWs was new (stop sale) and the other a CPO. For me, the CPO is not/was not a factor in purchase. The CPO has $50 per item deductible (follow ups are covered), and doesn't have much duration (if you are driving the TDI, rather than letting it sit). It does cover many non emissions warranty items (see the last link below), but from watching threads, these seem to be higher mileage issues, and so less likely to pop up in that first 24 months. Wear items obviously aren't covered, so unless you are unlucky enough to have an issue during the sweet spot of the CPO warranty, it doesn't help out. Of course, it also requires the dealer to work on your car, which may lead to numerous additional visits and problems. The emissions warranty is a different topic altogether.
If the CPO is attractive due to the dealer installing new wear items and consumables prior to sale, that's a different issue, but varies widely from dealer to dealer. Our CPO car had
thousands of dollars (VIN-confirmed) worth of new parts before sale, but many don't get much more than the "115" point inspection, where each valve stem cap counts as an "item." If it's not in the computer and confirmed, it wasn't done.
Hall VW sells a lot of TDIs, and the people I've talked to there seem like good folks. The car you listed is far less money than the recent stop-sale cars which have popped up, especially as an 6M SEL. Same car (without the owner-installed GTI wheels at Ellis VW is $44,000):

I upgraded from an unstoppable, but very worn down, 2000 Jetta 5 speed to a mint 2015 Golf SportWagen SEL DSG CPO with the lighting package and 68,000 miles, for $16,500. It was the only CPO with those options I could find nationwide so I purchased it out of state, sight unseen, and had it...

I've just bought a 2015 TDI wagon with 19k miles on it and a bumper to bumper VW warranty and sold by VW from their remaining stockpile. What did I get? I can't find what the formal prep was by VW, and forgive me if I don't trust the dealer. ;) Does anyone know how they treated oil, coolant...

Noticed that VW changed the CPO warranty terms for diesels after the 2021 new year. Looks like only two years/24k miles now. Unlimited miles has been dropped from the CPO warranty on TDI vehicles. I guess it was bound to happen eventually. Makes a TDI less attractive as a CPO. If you buy...
