I test drove a beautiful MKVI GTI on the weekend. I was very happy with how it was presented and drove, but for peace of mind had a pre-purchase inspection carried out by State Roads. The check came back generally positive with only a few points of concern.

A quick bit of information before I bombard with questions. It's a 2010 model with 142,000 km on it. Yes, it's high - but the car really is in great condition (aside from the usual stone chips) and drove beautifully. It has a majority long distance KM on it (previous owner drives from Gerringong to Woolongong every day).

I went for this model instead of a lower KM example closer to me for four beautiful reasons - 3 door, manual, sunroof, white. A majority of GTI's going around (especially true in Sydney) are 5 door DSG models and I just wasn't keen on that, it had to be perfect.

1) Servicing intervals and costs. The car has a complete service history. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out whether a major service has been completed? More importantly, when is a major service due? I was under the impression is was 120,000 km and the previous owner has confirmed that a major service has been completed, but I'm having a hard time finding it in the log books. I wanted to see if the water pump has been replaced as I hear that is an important one. Also, the sticker on the window says major due at 150,000km. So I'm quite confused and don't want to be up for a major service in 8,000km.

I've uploaded all of the pages below. If someone could make sense of them that would be excellent:

2) A few things need to be looked at. The main one being the brakes. I'll need to do the pads and rotors all around, what brands are recommended? I've read DBA are quite good. Additionally, the engine mounts are showing signs of wear (expected). I believe that's a fairly large job? Is there anything else I should do whilst changing the mounts? It has an APR stage 1 tune + air intake. The only other mods I'd consider are a down pipe + exhaust system, do I need to tune for these? (I come from Subaru land where I needed to tune whenever something was modified).

3) The diagnostic scan ran by State Roads brought up a few codes. I don't think I should be overly worried about them? But how can I get those cleared? Codes are in the same album found here: Log books - Album on Imgur

That's about all the questions I have for now until I bring it home! Any help would be greatly appreciated. : )
