I've got a very similar Golf estate on a 59 plate except mine's done 212k miles (bought at 208k). They like to do miles and mine drives perfectly and as said the engines are very robust. DMFs and DPFs are the big concerns although DPFs can be cleaned fairly inexpensively these days. The good thing about a big mile car is that it only cost me £645 so it doesn't matter if it goes pop.
I was pretty anti VAG before this, but it's a great motorway car with plenty of space and absurd economy (60+mpg average)
