Im looking for a first car for about 3500€ which can hopefully last a few years daily commuting During my apprenticeship

Now, I come from a Toyota family, since they are reliable af in the engine Department, even if they (at least the yaris and prius from the 00s) drive pretty badly

But the aygos sold here for that price have extremely high mileage (as in 160k+), and even if they have been treated for Rust, which they have probably not knowing the people who drive a 2006 aygo base model without aircon), it tends to be very noticeable on the inside of the car and all the nice to have stuff

Now, I've been looking at the VW golf 3 door from about 03, they go for about 2800€ Max for like 100k, but from what I've heard VW, Audi and the likes tend to die around 100k, but they are just so great in every other aspect

So now I'm looking for comments from the car gods.

Whether that's 160k miles or kilometers, I would expect that car to last for quite a long time if its a true Toyota. I just sold my '13 Camry that was pushing 240k miles and it never had any issues and was only sold because I have a long commute and wanted to pass the car off to someone who could enjoy it for a long time rather than me running it completely into the ground in just a couple more years.

Now, I'm not familiar with the Aygo and it looks like it was developed jointly between Toyota and Peugeot so reliability might be hit or miss compared to purely Toyota built vehicles.
