Mk4 Engine Longevity

[spj100]

Im have recently been offered a W reg GTI 2.0, a lovely little car, which I am well up for.

However, it has done just over 50,000 miles, which is maybe a little high for its age. I was wondering how much life I can expect to get out of this engine (100k, 200k) as I would be looking to keep it for probably 4-5 years. It has a full VW service history, which I would continue should I buy the car.

Also, are there any comon faults with these engines that I should maybe look out for.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Good for 200k miles if serviced properly. How much is the asking price?

It is currently the company car of a friend of mine at the moment. The car is to relpaced as she has had it for 3 years now, but she gets the option to buy before handing back at below market value. She doesnt want it as she only needs one car, so has offered it to me.

I thought it sounded like quite a good deal.

Sounds like a bargain to me, buy it!
