    That Passat has huge mileage though - 390,000 km - how many times are timing belts changed, and how much smoke is allowed?

    It would need to have a good service history.

    390k km isn't huge mileage anywhere in the world except in Ireland and the UK for some reason. I wouldn't let it matter, especially on Bangernomics.

    Ah the 1.9 Tdi engine will do that kind of mileage no bother. Most of the diesels will cover 300,000 miles easily if looked after
    One of mine had 282,000 miles when I sold it about 4 years ago and I have seen it still driving around
    My current Audi A4 has 255,000 miles on it and it's running perfect
    Timing belt intervals on the AVF/AWX are 120,000 kms(75,000 miles). Also, there is no need for smoke if they are kept serviced and EGR's replaced etc

    I had two of those B5.5 Passats back in the day, last one was a 4 Motion Highline. They were a savage Car and really comfortable.

    I think that's the model with the high tax, looks to be a clean aul yoke, would definitely keep someone on the road for a couple of years.

    It's just the regular 1.6 rate. Some of them on CO2 are 750 Euro p.a

    End of the road for the 1.4 at that mileage.

    The only test it has is the temporary arrangement where it doesn’t require testing til 27/08.

    I had a 04 one. Put up 240k miles (400,000kms) before I had to scrap it. Engine was still going. It was other repairs that made it not worth fixing.

    How much oil were you putting into it? I doubt it had a test either as they're impossible to get through the emissions once they go over the 200k mark.

    That could be your experience of a single 1.4

    https://www.donedeal.ie/cars/Volkswagen/Golf/Petrol?verifications=nct&engine_to=1.4&mileage_from=200000&year_to=2009

    All Golf 1.4's before 2009 with minimum 200,000 kms and with valid NCT

    [EDIT]The reason I believe different also, is a friend of mine bought one brand new in 2004 and it's still in the same family and has done 420,000 kms at this stage and never had an issue with NCT apart from cv boots, shocks etc, but it has been well looked after and regularly serviced from day one[/EDIT]

    Those 1.4's are very fickle.

    You do see a multitude of ****ters that burn oil and run like a dog. They are very fragile that way.

    On the other hand anything with a service history that has had its oil services on time seem to go on and on. Have seen a few over 300k kms.

    That Golf looks like a dog IMO, if it didnt have the cream leather you wouldnt look twice at it.

    Very clean looking Micra with a bit of Covid NCT left on it until August. 350 quid

    Work colleague has an Octavia with that engine, he bought it when it was 2 years old (06 car bought in 08), minded this fcuker like a babby, at 220,000km it's burning oil like a good 'un. I know at least 3 golfs with the same carry on every one of them ended up with the scrap man (except the Octy he's still minding her like the golden child)

    Burning a sup of oil isn't the end of the world either. I dont say that in defence of the 1.4 either, they aren't a great engine regardless.
