I know it's not really that high mileage but I got a 2.0 140 bhp gt derv with 97.000 on the clock and the dsg has been perfect. Had the oil and filter changed recently at vw at cost of £170 just for peace of mind
And it feels smooth still and hopefully got lots of life still in it.  :happy2:

Like anything in life, it's just luck of the draw.

114k and drives fine, although PRNDS flashes on dash so may give up at anytime

I have 130k miles on my '07 dsg. Service it every 40k miles and it should last. Mine has been modified to over 285WheelHP(US) since it had 58k miles on it and ran vigorously.

DSG and high mileage cars
« Reply #20 on: August 15, 2016, 08:00:38 pm »
Good to hear some of these stories of the cars running well over 100k.

Basically if I buy a car near the 100k mile mark I want it to have plenty of life left in it for years to come.

Does that seem reasonable as long as it's looked after. Never had a car with much mileage on the clock before, luckily the highest mileage car I've ever bought was mid 30's.

Possibly incorrectly I've always felt that once a car gets to around 100k it's coming to the end of its economic life, and you'll only have troubles from here in.
