Nice! Enjoy.
Keep on top of the oil changes, filters (air & pollen) and spark plugs and it’ll go forever. Even better if you learn how to do these yourself (messiest is an oil change) but all require very basic tools and keep the car running sweet and if done yourself can cost around £75.
I’d personally do it every year/5,000 miles (whatever comes 1st) and loads of info of how to do this yourself can be found online.
Don’t worry about letting the car warm up, modern cars warm up in 5/10 mins and modern oils/coolant is designed to be used cold 👍🏻

If you’re looking at ULEZ compliant VW from that age make sure it’s either a non turbo engine (FSI) or if it is a turbo (TFSI) then newer than 2012, older than 2008. That 08-12 bracket are absolute garbage engines, all the diesels are good!
Repair/mechanic wise, the parts are probably 20/30% more than your jap cars (dependent on engine ofc) but in my experience last longer and work better. I’ve loads of experience with VW’s so pm me if you’d like a hand 👍🏻
