How far has your Scirocco driven?

Hey guys.

I'm thinking of buying a used Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI with 140 HP. The one I interested in has driven 142.000 km(90.000miles) since 01/2009.

Has any of your Sciroccos driven so long, and more important have you experienced any problems with car after that many km/miles?
Something I need to beware of before buying a used 'Rocco?

Best regards
Brandborg, Denmark

I'm on just over 40,000miles on my '09 140TDI. Not experienced any issues. That is a lot of miles but not unheard of for a diesel. Somewhat depends on how it's been treated and driven over those miles by the previous owner(s).

Mine has just rolled over 15,000 miles on an 09 plate (thats right just 15K). I would say it is running more sweetly now than at any point. Mine is a petrol 2.0 TSI

It has been driven as a sales rep car, so only long trips, not all those starts and stops and urban driving. All services has also been made by VW, so it should be fine.

My plan is to drive it to my local VW dealer, so they can look it through.

But it sounds awesome guys, I'm just keep getting more excited!

Sounds awesome Skollers!

Do you know when a 2.0 TDI need to change the timing belt?

It is 140,000 miles or 4 years in UK. The latter is a revenue generator for VW UK.

14,000 on a 59 plate, 2.0 tsi, I only really use it at weekends and then not every weekend. walk/bike to work as it's far easier than driving.
