Volkswagen Golf Import from Motorpoint - can this be right?

I'm considering purchasing a VW Golf R-Line through Motorpoint. It is an import and I will be the first registered keeper. Is it worth the OTR price saving? I have noted the engine is a None ACT version.

These are oddball specs for the UK and will be treated with suspicion by dealers if you ever come to part-exchange in the future. They won't have the VW 3 year UK warranty either. Probably a 2 year warranty from the date the car was first sold into the trade.
