I managed 800 and I got my steering wheel replaced for a manufacturing defect. Passed 10k now and I've not been back for anything else.

Define "no warranty work"?
I've had several fixes applied while its been in the shop for services... and did about 20k before I had a seatbelt pre-tensioner go wrong.

Well my thinking was miles with just service visits ,no unwanted visits back to vw for warranty work.

Good question, though sure answers will vary markedly
Have done near 25k now and only had the gaitors tied correctly which was an issue for early MK7 but not an issue that carried on for MK7 once the PDI advisement was properly understood by the dealers. - That's it for me.

My GTD has 42,000 on it and hasn't needed anything doing under warranty. Sometimes I can hear a bit of a creak in the suspension though so I really need to book it in for them to have a look at that.

Well on Saturday I'm just about to swap my 2013 GTD for a brand new 2016 GTD. It's just under 3 years old now, ahas around 25,000 miles and has been bullet proof (let's hope the new one is as well).

I have over 100k on mine, only faults were a leak on DCC shock absorber on front left and a glow plug.
Well and the sat nav screen but I did have to pay for it..... and 2 windscreens but they were cracked due to stone chips....
