I am looking into buying a used VW from an authorised VW dealer in the UK.

The car is outside its 3 year manufacturers warranty but dealer provides 1 year warranty.

Would people recommend this approach or is it crazy to buy a used car without an AA inspection and a viewing it in person even if it is from authorised dealer?
