It’s a fun experiment.
I did the same on a 2002 petrol Sharan. Paid £1000, ran it for four years, sold it for £800. It never got serviced. The only running cost was that it gummed up the plug on one cylinder and dropped onto 3 a few times, so I had to change that plug. Just that one, the other three worked fine.
Never buy a car from me.

I know where you're coming from but to not even change oil and filters in that time just seems neglectful. Mind you, fresh oil might reveal a while host of worn out valve gear and bearings. Possibly better to leave it alone!
