What sort of mileage are you thinking as a few on here are well past 100k miles and still going strong.

Put it this way how much would you pay ( or is it worth buying)for a 2007/8 ed with 170k on the clock knowing you will need a refurb or recon sooner or later

Engine should fine until double that mileage, may be worth cleaning inlet valves though  :happy2:

There are mk2 GTI's with 180+k miles still running well, more modern engines using modern oil will go on and on to the point where the body has rotten away before the engine has expired
