HI all

I am going looking at a 2.0TSI GT tonight and was just looking for a few things to look out for.

another thing on my mind is its a 58 reg but its done 60k miles, I have never bought a second hand car with that many miles as i see it as being high (i only do 8000 a year) i plan on keeping the car for 3-4 years so selling at 80-90k miles. would you expect turbo, belt/chain, waterpump or anything to go around that mileage?

thanks in advance for the advice

There aren't too many cars at that kind of mileage yet but if you look for any buyers guides on the Mk5 golf for typical issues you'll probably get an idea of what might be worth looking at. Generally the scirocco is looking pretty reliable so far.

Yes heated seats are standard with leather.
