Avoid.
1) If it looks iffy to you, it probably is.
2) If it's not iffy, it looks that way to you right now and will doubtless look that way to the person you eventually sell it on to. You might well be in the same position a few years down the line except that you won't be able to prove the guy you bought it from was a copper.
3) There will be other cars of the same spec available, Golfs are about the most common sight on the roads and there must be plenty about in diesel with leather, that's about the most common spec of car in our company car park.

Always do your own HPi check (I am such an untrusting bastard!)
I'd also say "walk" to be honest. Although I know how difficult it is when your potential new toy is sitting there in front of you.
