I have a 13 with 100K which isn't an ALH so it may not be represented as similar. After the software neuter, we now get about 46 instead of 50 mpg, it regens constantly. Typical European maintenance schedule, which is very expensive when done by Vw, not so bad for DIY. So far other than oil changes once a year and mandated recalls it's not worked on. One fault on the late '12 and early 13s was the fuel pump, after neuter its the EGR and DPF which are suprisingly related. Suspension issues in salted road states, where wheel parts rust off. 200K for the clutch is common, 150K for the brake pads also.
