I have had my T5 3 years and 40k (now on 140k)
Clutch slave cylinder went - complete clutch kit (£950)
Aircon radiator (£250)
Oil Separator (£250)
Cambelt and tensioners (£300)
Leaks inside car (sunroof drains)
Rear Wheel bearing - full hub (£150)
Battery (£80)

and

A gallon of unleaded every 25 miles !

If you floor it, you get torque steer like an old vauxhall, as the ECU tries to reign in all the power (The 4 wheel drive cars may be a little better, but I have not driven one)

It's not been good on maintenance costs, these are the additional costs on top of routine servicing
