What kind of driving have you done in that milage? motorway or ...?

Mines got 62k, which imo is middle age for a car

my car is the earliest gti they did, its on a V plate. My mum owned it from new and she did alot of miles to work and back every day - she never had any problems with it either really, 2 new rear shocks 2 lambda sensors and the recall and thats about it i think.

I WAS GONNA CHOP IT IN AGAINST A CLIO 172 BUT SAW 1 WITH 31K ON IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS ABOUT FOOOKED. NEEDED A GRAND SPENDING ON IT FOR BRAKES SHOCKS AND EXHAUST SO DECIDED TO KEEP THE TRUSTY POLO

ps sorry 4 the caps

Mine was registered in the last month of 2001 but is still only X reg

Mine was manufactured on 26th January 2001 apparently.

My mate has a 172, he says the engine is too much for the car, always comming loose at the mounts. V fast tho.

the "51" Plate was released in September 2001 see http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regmark ... ifiers.htm

The quality of most of the small hatchbacks is pretty low, compared to the polo.

With regards to milage, on a VW its only really an issue at resale time. If you have 105k it should easy do another 50k if not more, assuming you look after it. I find the engine is usually last thing to go, everything else goes first.

it would be a Y plate, not a 51 plate

Ha ha yeah, like the electrics

These german powerplants should be pretty bulletproof up to and beyond 150k, looks like now that I'm keeping mine for the long-term I'll be heading thru the 100k marker at some point! Just have to keep the servicing up to date and look after her.

V-plate though, damn that's an early one! I've never seen a V-plate GTi, I guess most of the early ones were press cars?
