I've owned my T2 estate for 6 years, bought at just over a year old with 11,000 on the clock. i've done another 70k in it and have 2 problems to report: the battery went at 50k (that can happen) and the sound system's LCD display sometimes doesn't work. The system works, but you've got to play with the buttons to get it to display what you're listening to, Other than that this car is flawless and does everything well. You love it for its sheer dependability, although if you're looking for something to get your pulse racing this is probably not it. I have it serviced every 10.000 miles and that's it. For the first few years I got 40mpg, that's dropped to 38.5 now but for a fairly large car being propelled by a relatively small petrol engine that's fine. VVTi revs well enough to pull out into traffic, and plenty of room for passengers and in boot. I expect to keep this car well past the 100k mark, and likely to replace with another the same. Would probably take advantage of the longer warranty now provided and buy a 3 or 4 year old car in that event.
