Golf 1.4 TSI 122 ?
Discussion
Some of early ones suffer from timing chain troubles, identified by a sharp rattling noise at startup. The turbos can also fail but its relatively uncommon. Otherwise they are generally quite solid and the engine suits the car well. Make sure it has a full service history as they are sensitive to the oil changes been done, and preferably some kind of warranty.

Mk6 or Mk7
I'm pretty sure the Mk7 version is a completely new engine.
That's correct yes, the 7 uses the new 'lifetime belt' EA211 engine, too new for any reported problems I'm pretty sure the Mk7 version is a completely new engine.
Looks like a 7, so its a perfectly safe buy in that case!
Price is a little expensive though as www.drivethedeal.com will sell you a brand new one for the same money. SE trim has been replaced with Match which comes with a few extra toys
