Mattyholmz89 mine is the 1.9TDi still drive it to work everyday 60mile round trip plus we use it as the main car at weekends which is why the wife's Punto Grande 2006 only has 64k on the clock. The strange thing is I can still remember picking it up brand new and then was amazed when I had 1000miles on the clock, fingers crossed for the next milestone as would like to get to 250,000 then see how it runs

99k between an oil change!

I had taxi driver customer who's mk2 1.8 petrol mondeo was knocking on 250k before we had to change the front brake discs for the 1st time, he was disappointed if he got less than 100k out of a tyre! 400k now no repairs except services!

199000 on a TDI 150, I bought it with the intention of getting 250000 miles out of it. I have been disappointed with the build quality and expected much better from a VAG car.
