Clutch biting point on B5.5 Passat TDI 130

[digga951]

Hello,

I've been offered a 2001 Passat TDI 130 by a friend. Car is all good, however the biting point of the clutch is nearer the top of the pedal instead of nearer the bottom. I was just wondering if this sounds normal? Its the original clutch and the car has done 94,000 miles. It's the only manual Passat I've driven so I have nothing to compare it againt. My other cars have all had the biting point much nearer to the carpet, so should I be worried that this one is about 1.5 to 2 inches from the top?

Is this normal, or could it be an indication that the clutch is on its last legs?

Thanks,

Dan.
