Its relatively high mileage 60k on a 2 year old car, but do I need to worry about turbos etc as its from a private seller.

Is there anything to watch out for?

thanks

If it's smokey or whines excessively you may be looking at a problem turbo. 60k in two years has probably had an easy motorway life.

Service book all up to date?

Old post but thanks for the comment.

Due to various job issues declined to purchase the car but will start looking for a mk4 tdi in the new year if things start looking up.
cheers
