Facelift Mk1 Cupra
had 1 CV joint replaced,
blew coolant hose on M4 - no damage
1 new battery
Exhaust clip welded several times
and hen just the usual bulbs, brakes tyres etc
Oh and slightly faded
Other than that all in all best car I've ever had!
Just wondered what, if any, was likely to be the major component likely to fail fisrt?
Good lad Jonesy, I'm impressed!!
Sounds like you're doing a grand job already, what do you need our advice for lol

A mate of mine has a Audi A3 1.8T which will just tick over 200k this weekend. With no real major issues, had to replace the steering rack tho, cv joint and the usual bits and pieces.
Good luck for the next 30k shouldnt have too many problems

Getting quite excited myself as my 02 Tdi is currently on 299,460 - my next fill of diesel will take me through the 300K barrier. It's still giving mid-50s mpg, although that got up to 60+ recently when a leaky rad prompted me to keep the revs down for a couple of weeks.
Apart from the leaky rad, which is now fixed, I also had to fit a new exhaust last October. MOT is due in April.
Edited to add : my air-con also broke after a couple of years and I had to pay an independent to fix it.
Edited again to add : I've just noticed that I've been a member since I bought the car but have only posted 6 times... :-(

Bloody hell thats a high mileage. Glad its still going well with hardly any problems. Good luck with the next 100k
Definitley! When I was hunting around for Leons I saw some examples half my mileage (around 40k) and were a right dog to drive and obviously had not been looked after & not serviced properly.
Mine's nearly 90k and previous owner was a company and it had full SEAT service history, no expense was spared and it still drives like new now
Unfortunately it's a number insurance companies use to not give you anything like what you need to replace your car if need be.
just goes to show if you drive a car how it should be driven and look after it properly it will keep going and going
