bought a cheap mk5 diesel golf last year with 12 months MOT and very patchy service history. I know the Cambelt is fine for a while as I have the paperwork for that. Did oil change, oil filter, 2x air filters myself and it has been fine for 9 months other than needing a £350 brake job.
Not sure whether to hope for the best by going to an MOT only garage and then doing another light service myself, or take it to a garage for a 'full' service. Not mechanical so not sure what else a full service would include. Hoping to keep it for another year or two.
Only other slight if is that I go from max to min on my coolant chamber in about 2 months but have not noticed any kind of leak.
