HIGHEST MILEAGE MK5 GOLF GTI
« on: March 12, 2025, 04:39:04 pm »
Hello all, welcome to my post!

Introducing you to the highest mileage GTI in the world?

Bought it last month and have done a few things to it, my instagram is W9uho if you're interested in the journey so far. Might actually use this as a build thread too.

Apparently its still got the original engine and gearbox since new according to the previous owner. I've got the service book which is stamped since new (all 10-30k miles). It had 3 services in 2014! Between 2010-2017 one garage looked after it and it's been confirmed that it is all genuine mileage.

Current plan is to get it running at it's best to see how much longer this BWA can go on for...

That's crazy, someone must have practically lived in the thing! Think it'll get to 500,000?

Of course it will! As of now it runs really good and pulls very good. Does need its injectors done which are being done one Friday alongside walnut blasting, full service, rocker cover gasket, a few sensors and pipes as its throwing up multiple codes every time i drive it.. After the original owner serviced it around 380k miles it was sold and whoever owned it from then onwards put on cheap ebay stuff and serviced it with ECP rubbish so just trying to put it all right and hope it makes it another 400k miles lol

If not.. I'll throw a CDL into it :)
