The only German car I've owned a long time was that 2003 TDI. I sold it after 10 years / 245K miles to a friend of the family. It is still running today
After about 200K miles stuff on the interior started breaking - pretty common for any car that has been heat cycling in the Alabama sun for years.
My brother had similar luck with a Jetta sedan TDI of the same vintage.
My 2014 Jetta Sportwagen is too young to have issues. To date the only repair was the sunroof seal - replaced under CPO warranty. (I hate sunroofs)
