Engines don't tend to break down right away due to oil not being changed.
They have a high resilience to wear and abuse.
But they do wear.

35.000 km is not very high if you do a lot of long distance driving, and you've started with a good quality oil - though not the kind of longlife oil VW used before.

Rest assured, the oil is breaking down, the TBN is coming down, and ultimately, it'll wear down the engine.
