So its 10 years old this month PD130 ASZ Octy Elegance 6 speed gearbox  , done 188k miles , was in for MOT yeterday and passed with 1 Advisory , the small chip in Windscreen ,

A few more good years to go i hope . In all this time the only replacements have been

New complete Exhaust 

Discs and pads all round Once

Brake Switch times 2

Temp Sensor 1

Battery 1

Both front wheel bearings  once

and all locks replaced under warranty after 2 years as the Stearing wheel was locked up and would not move

So obviously made the right decision all those years ago , still get up to 60 MPG on a motorway run , and replace the oil and filters every 10k miles with long life . Fuel filter i now do every 30k miles .

nice to see another 130 tdi passing a mot first time
