At 82k was the mileage I traded my mk6 Golf R, I had stg 1+ since 6k miles.
At 68k I noticed minor slip on my clutch, at full/heavy throttle.
At 75k noticed my stock suspension slightly softening up, by 80k it wasn't to my standards, meaning I felt very minor floaty-ness. I didnt feel like investing in my car, so I traded it in.
I definitely wouldn't recommend trading a car in for those reason. It was more of a personal preference.

Rickety could just be mounts, bearings, or bushings. It's definitely getting up there in mileage so it wouldn't hurt to upgrade if you were thinking of doing that anyway..

My R is now at 143,000 mi, mostly highway, and I honestly can't seem to feel much of a difference. What are big things to look for? Will it sag? I honestly can't remember what it felt like when I bought it, ~80k.
