Yes, but that still means you (or some previous owner) had to do at least one "maintenance" which IMHO qualifies as a major repair job.

Over a truck, sure. Over a Honda or Toyota of similar size as your Jetta, maybe not much, if anything - and that's before factoring in the cost of a timing belt replacement. Have you had to do yours, and added in the cost?
