My honest opinion..

Do not pay a premium for a low mileage modern diesel, the dpf is the first cause for concern.

Next the spec. SE is the least desirable, that coupled with no sat nav and a manual box really wont helping it. OK if you want to keep it forever, wont travel far and like changing gear. Kiss of death if you want to sell on again it in the next few years.

My tip Q5 TFSI S Line S Tronic with sat nav and a few miles on it. Highly likely the petrol is going to hold its value better than the diesel, certainly much more with S Tronic & Nav. If the buyer is doing lower mileage then this makes an even more compelling buy.

Oh, if the buyer is elderly, go for the TFSI SE S Tronic. The flat seats and higher profile tyres make it a more comfortable ride, the rest still stands.

Just my opinion
