My 2019 is at 110k. Other than maintenance items like tires, oil, spark plugs ect, the one thing I had to fix was the water pump at 97k. It's been flawless otherwise.
Pros: flawless otherwise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 110000 km
I drive my 2017 everyday to work and just hitting 95k miles. I'm the only owner and the biggest issue has just been the water pump. It started to leak around 36k but otherwise had been sold.
Pros: good car
Cons: water pump leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 95000 km
I binned off my original water pump which was now made of cheese and spraying my engine bay like that and bought an SIL Saleri (Italian) pump online. Metal impeller and comes with the seals kit for it too. been perfect for years.
Pros: perfect for years, metal impeller
The water pumps leak. It's not an if, it is a when, and there is no upgraded part or aftermarket part available that will solve the issue going forward.
Cons: water pumps leak
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
If you're already in there at 101k, replace the water pump and thermostat. That's the only thing that's gone bad on mine 'prematurely', at 85k miles.
Cons: gone bad prematurely

I had a 2012 VW CC EA888 that went through 3 water pumps in 10K miles. The latter two covered under the 1st’s repair warranty. The repair shop on the third one went with a non-OEM metal water pump instead of the OEM plastic variety. I paid the difference which was I think about $80 and that pump held.
Pros: metal pump held
Cons: OEM pump failed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km
The only issue is the reliability. Water pump failures are common.
Cons: common failures

My 16’ mk7 is showing some age, and it is in the shop now for water pump & thermostat (leaks unfortunately at 95k mi, original pump).
Cons: original pump leaking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 95000 km
I have a 2010 VW Tiguan, it has almost 102,000 miles on it... The garage said to fix what probably is the water pump would be very costly, the water pump is buried in the car, he said removing parts would add more costs with brittle hoses, etc.
Cons: costly to fix, difficult to access, brittle hoses
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 102000 km
