It's a common feature of modern cars to carry a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel of any kind, but Volkswagen do offer the option of adding a space saver spare wheel when buying new, quoting a price of £125. You do need to add a jack and wheelbrace to this, and unfortunately Volkswagen don't quote a price for this.

However, to save money manufacturers will usually use one size of spare wheel across the range. A quick internet search revealed plenty of places selling a compatible wheel and jack set for only a few pounds more than the official Volkswagen price for the wheel alone. We would suggest skipping the dealer's offer, taking the standard tyre repair kit and sourcing your own spare wheel and jack elsewhere at a reduced cost.
