Volkswagen is a staple of British roads - popular, stylish and reliable - so it's no wonder it was the UK's best-selling car brand in 2021 and 2022. However, the brand's global popularity began much earlier with the original Volkswagen Beetle, one of the best-selling cars of the entire 20th century, with over 21.5 million vehicles sold. And while classic VW models like the Golf continue to dominate sales, newer editions like the all-electric ID. Buzz are also causing a stir. At the 2023 WhatCar? Awards, the Buzz was crowned both 'Large Electric Car of the Year' and overall 'Car of the Year'. Find out how much servicing costs for a Volkswagen in this guide.

A car diagnostic test allows a mechanic to discover problems with a car by using special software that identifies faults with the engine or other systems that you can't diagnose yourself. For example, if the check engine light appears on your dashboard, the mechanic will plug a small device into your car's computer, which will run an engine diagnostic and tell you what is causing the problem.Vehicle diagnostics can also highlight developing problems before they become serious, which may save money in the long term. However, if you have an existing problem and your car won't start, you can book a mobile car diagnostic where the mechanic comes to you. Some people wonder, "why are diagnostic tests so expensive?" but this isn't always the case. The cost depends on the car, and dealerships may charge more than independent garages. It's a good idea to look around for the best price.
