Just borrowed a family members 3.5 year old decent spec polo, has 12k on it, no gas left in ac system! Put obd11 on it to find it all leaked out when it was less than a year old. Been for 2 vw service since then, most recent would have been a pollen filter change and check of ac, not surprised they've missed it tbh. Never had any main line vag dealer run the actual service list on a car.

Yeah I've heard that. Which is why I wanted somewhere decent.
I guess the only counter is after 12yrs there could be miniscule leaks, and it just needs a regas.
The main thing is finding somewhere decent and trustworthy. We use our car almost daily and a 2hr round trip isn't viable. I'm probably going to go for my local VW dealer. While the indy I used for the major service seemed OK (and much better value) the customer service and my confidence was a bit lacking. That said they were very busy as it was just after garages were back open.
