Mileage
« on: 27 March 2024, 22:02 »
103 k.

Full VW service history.
Had it since new (July  13) and intend to keep it as long as I can. Still love this car to bits.
New suspension recently otherwise perfect.

Anyone with higher mileage?

Mk7 GTI. DBP, DCC, Winter pack. Mine since new, July 2013.
GTI no. 4. Golf no. 5.  VW no. 7.

An impressive ownership history, it's good to have a car you know well.
I intend to keep mine as I can't think of anything I would prefer as a sensible car.

One question on the suspension, I see you have DCC, how did that fair over 100k miles, did you replace the shocks when you overhauled the suspension?

Mine's also '93. Just over 90k on the clock.

Full SH. Lovely car and going to keep her for some time yet.
What suspension work did you have done?  Mine's still good on the suspension and the DCC continues to work faultlessly.

Mines a mere child from late 2018 with 25k on the clock but it’s encouraging to hear that GTI’s over twice the age of mine are still more than going strong and owners are still loving them. Mine’s a real keeper as well.

Front DCC shocks and all 4 springs done last year. A pot hole broke the front left spring and shock so I had both sides done. One rear spring cracked and the other badly rusted. Not cheap but I’m happy with it lasting 90k +.

It’s wearing its 145k miles very well.

IMHO Carbon Grey is the best colour (exclusive to the mk 6 and mk7 GTI and GTD) and Rotary’s are the best 18” VW alloys :cool:.

Totally agree  :cool:  I did just have to replace front shocks/springs/top mounts and bearings but that’s to be expected with mileage. Car is very well minded.
