High Mileage Reliability and wear and tear?

[jc74]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone on here has racked up high mileages over there ownership?
In particular, be interesting to know which parts needed replacing and when due to wear and tear.
I'm at only 9k miles and nothing needs changing yet (touch wood). But would be interesting to know roughly when people are experiencing tyre changes, new brake pads etc.
Also would be good to know if there are any serious faults which are appearing now the car's been around for almost 2 years (hopefully none!).

Anyone hit 100k+ miles yet?

There's nothing unique about the Scirocco under the skin. Tyre, clutch and brake wear should be comparable to that on any Golf/Jetta/Passat.

Unless you drive like a nutter, i'd expect 18-25K miles tyre wear on the fronts, 40k miles on the rear, about 40k miles on the brake pads and 60k miles on the brake discs. The clutch should give a minimum of 60k miles unless you ride the clutch whilst waiting to move off at a junction.

I've just hit 41k in a little over a year in mine.

No faults except the dsg fault and the wiper blades.
Tyres on front replaced twice, rears will need doing in the next couple of thousand.
Brakes getting done at next service.
Serviced twice 10k (switched to long life) 28k normal service, no faults. Due again in the next couple of months will advise if anything out the ordinary happens.

Sure they'll be cars with higher milage than mine but hope this helps for the time being.

I'm at 62.000 km; changed front tires once; rears are still good (I use winter tires in the winter). Brakes are still in excellent condition and need no changing. No problems so far, except had the rear leather seating replaced due to a factory mistake.

I have to replace front tyres after 10K miles. But it is ex-demo car and I can only guess tyres had harder life than usual.
