Depends on the engine if you have a belt driven it will need to be changed around +/-180.000km.
Im on 240.000km now and one front shock and one rear spring is bad, so thats very said i have an excuse to lower it now :)
Further its just how the car has been driven and took care of.

I am on 180k miles.
Considering my state of tune and type of driving it's been very reliable.
No parts have failed except from clutch line.
Aux belt tensioner needing changing now.

Mines got 150k, 170 gt tdi, very reliable, still on original clutch - but suspect DMF will need doing shortly...Aircon compressor failed, apart for that just make sure regularly serviced (I do all my own servicing)
