Can any one advise me what they would think about a 2 lt diesel yeti with 80 thousand Kay's on the clock. One owner used to carry mail around the burbs.Is this a lot for this age of car.It has a Full service history oil always change at 10.000 km. It looks in great shape .

Is this high mileage for the two lt vw diesel.

see how it starts up, you need to see it start from cold, standing looking at the exhaust, if it smokes it its no good if you have a doubt don't buy it

My diesel Yeti has done more miles/Kms than that with no problems at all.
High mileage would be 150k miles or more!!

Cam belt change?
VAG diesels have scheduled cambelt changes at 40K or 4 yearsIIRC, therefore should have been changed twice! (40k may only be PD diesels which was what I used to have but now don't do the miles so opted for petrol with a chain drive). Think it's about £350 so worth making sure it's done before buying.

PD diesels were 40k miles to change the cam belt, not the CD diesels as fitted to the Yeti's.

My Yeti has done nearly 98k kms.

My last car a Mazda 1.8 petrol had done over 244,000 km when I sold it, and the car before that a 1.8 petrol Nissan had done over 296,000 km when I sold it. The Mazda has just sailed through it's MOT test, so as long as it has not been trashed or badly off roaded a 2 litre diesel with 80,000 should just be nicely run in.
