Assume this is a second hand vehicle. Personally I'd have checked the spare wheel etc when viewing the vehicle with a view to securing a spare or space saver as part of the deal.
Unless there's a legality in play requiring a vehicle to be sold with some means of repairing a puncture then you've got limited leverage if the kit was absent at the time you agreed purchase. If you're lucky the dealer (are they a VW franchise?) will supply one as goodwill. If they're a 'car retailer' selling on monthly cost less so.
I've little faith in repair kits. See too many cars at the roadside on three wheels and a jack where the wheel has presumably been carted off for a new tyre. IIRC the breakdown services carry a set of 'universal' spares to get you moving in this scenario.
Best route is to buy the appropriate wheel/tyre, either space saver or full size, together with a jack.
