High Mileage

[Clearcut]

Just curious whether anyone would consider something like this with 131,000 miles. I really want one of these but obviously, the mileage is putting me off.

Check out this Audi TT that I have just found on #motorscouk

2013 (13) - Audi TT 20T FSI Quattro TTS Black Edition 2dr S Tronic

Is the Audi TT MK2 (8J) reliable? Common problems seen in TT MK2's are excessive oil consumption, ignition coils, HPFP, and more.

These VW engines are a bag of problems once they get to a high miliage tbh

The 1.8 is about 6grand for under 60k miles...

Gotta agree with this. They worry me at low mileage tbh with lots of reports of excessive oil consumption being the most worrisome. Coil packs and diverter valves have been regularly dying on all VAG cars for the last 20 years+, but the benefit is that they are cheap to replace, and easy to swap out so not a massive issue. It's the carbon build up and crazy oil consumption on some engines which really keep me away from a lot of VW 2.0T cars.

If it was a high mileage 2006 onwards BMW (N47 aside), Merc or VAG diesel though - I'd have no issues getting one as they're mostly all solid engines and bodies.
