We bought an identical car to this about 18 months ago registered new in the UK and with delivery mileage. The car had originally been intended for the Cyprus market but was imported into the UK by MP. We paid somewhat more than the price quoted but I think that the ones being sold by Motorpoint have a few thousand miles on the clock.

We bought one of these from MP as a delivery mileage car in the second half of 2015. No problem in dealing with Motorpoint - they were very professional.

One or two points on the car that we had:-

1. The spec was identical to the UK equivalent except for two things:-
-The UK car has DAB radio but the Cyprus car had only AM/FM
-The MP car had electric rear windows whereas the UK spec has
keepfit Ones (This may have changed on later model year cars)

2. The warranty given is only two years rather than three and starts from the date of the PDI, which in our case was over three months before the date we bought it.

The car itself was absolutely fine and we did 15k miles without a hint of a problem. We did have some concerns about how we would be treated if we went to a UK VW dealer with a problem, particularly given their apparent reputation for not being very sympathetic anyway but this never arose.

Following a change in circumstances we traded it for a larger vehicle (Honda Accord) very recently and my impression is that you do get quite a bit lowerPX allowance when you mention that it is an import. Nevertheless taking into account the total cost of ownership it probably works out a little cheaper than buying the equivalent UK spec.

Bare in mind the 1.2s on offer are the lower-powered 82odd bhp versions, not the 110bhp versions equivalent to a normally aspirated 1.6 petrol engine, so they're slow. Odd if the warranty is different - my similar Mazda3 was an import from Cyprus too, but the differences were minor (radio only, no CD [got one myself as a dealer add on]), and I knew most of them were inconsequential given I was getting a £3.5k discount on a del miles car from Motorpoint. The did the same with the 1.4 150 bhp Golf GTs last summer for £17k and the 50+ of them sold quickly, given the list price is £25k and they all had CC A/C and metallic paint as standard, which the UK models don't have. Not sure if this deal is as good, even if the cars are significantly cheaper - they are 'base spec'.
