I've had a leaking flange on my coolant system and I had a CV gaitor fail on my MOT. Also had my hand brake sensor go which needed replacing. That's in 3 years of ownership. She's been a good little trooper.

Broken gearbox mount. That's it after 3 1/2 years.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3
