I have seen a 5 year old VW Golf GTI which has had its engine replaced at 113k miles by VW. Current engine has done 9k miles.

Would you buy a car which has had its engine replaced?

There is no reason given for the replacement in the description.
 
If it has been replaced by VW and has the documentation to back it up then I see no problem

Just ask the seller the reason for the change
 
If it was a brand new engine then if anything I'd see it as a positive. i'd have to wonder why VW wouldn;t call just about any engine failure at that age as wear and tear and try to weasel out of it though so i'd be slightly suspicious.
 
maybe there was a crack in the engine block maybe reason they replaced the lot and didnt want to check for other faults
