i was lucky when i bought mine had feck all milleage but as long as you look after the engine service it properly you got people on here with 140k on the clock with remaps etc etc as rich will tell you the 1.8T is pretty much bullet proof  :wink:

Don't even go there, you know mine had less  :wink:

Rich's Golf has 130k on it now!  He's looked after it like it was his first born though.  As long as the car has been well looked after, it should be all good.
+1

134k now  :shocked:

my '02 aum had 77.5k on it, now at 81.5 - fsh, all vag bar the last that was by the phirm - ZERO probs in 9 months of ownership,like a lot have said already - all down to how a car is treated by previous owners - i'd have no probs with getting a 100k + turbo as long as everything added up - just wanted to treat myself to a sub 100k dub for a change lol..there's been many in the past!
