High mileage mk7 R - how are they holding up?

[budgie smuggler]

I'm starting to see a few of these coming into budget around the 14-15k mark. But most have 100K+ miles.

Does anybody have one at this kind of mileage? How's it holding up? Any major issues to be aware of?

It would be an early DSG mk7 probably.

Can't help you with high mileage query.. but thought i would chip in and say my mk7 R DSG was the best car i've ever owned.

i did about 40,000miles in two years (from new in 2014) and it didn't put a foot wrong - original brakes were only 40% worn, and i don't hang about.

Good luck with the search and hopefully someone will be along in a minute and answer your actual question.

No where near 100k but my Leon ST Cupra (i.e. same engine/box) is on 77k and seems ok. I bought at 68k with next to no service history so took a bit of a risk with it.

Only non-service work I've had done is replaced a temperamental drivers door window switch.

I've previously had a couple of RS3s where the DSG box got noticeably jerkier at 40k miles. This one is still very smooth, even with a remap (360hp/500Nm)
