But can it make it to the next VW dealership on its own power in time for its next repairs??

VW has one of the worst frequency of repair records of any brand of cars. Look it up in Consumer Reports.

VW has one of the worst frequency of repair records of any brand of cars. Look it up in Consumer Reports.But it's all minor stuff and is covered under the 4yr/5yr warranty.

I got a GTI the first year the MKIVs came out in 2000. Stuff like a broken glove box door, window regulators killed their "evaluation" by CR. But I sold mine 4years and 70K later and it ran just as good as the day I bought it.
