My 2008.5 MKV just passed 200K miles.
It's been quite a journey and I'm pretty confident that no-one will ever own this car other than me. I've been tuned since 10k miles, stage 2 since 20k miles and K04 since 71k miles. I would say that mechanically my car has been pristine, but due to a catastrophic failure with my gearbox at 196k miles, I had to have that and my clutch replaced. My old DXD stage 2 clutch had 125K miles on it, and was at the end of it's life anyways. While they were doing that work, I also had the valves cleaned and intake manifold replaced for the 2nd time.
I've been using the GTI as a daily driver to go to construction sites for the past 4 years now considering I'm a field engineer. I in no way, shape, or form baby my car. I beat the hell out of it. My work finally came through and got me a new 2018 Ford Escape that's 100% covered by them, so my daily mileage should drastically decrease. Here's to another 50k miles!
