Legally he can tell you whatever he wants to tell you concerning the mileage,
once a car is 10 years old the mileage is not required to be disclosed and is
not typically written on the title of the car. You usually see N/A in the
place of the mileage. 

Hell, 200,000 miles is just broken in! As long as it's a VW don't worry about
it.....
