If it's a 1.8tsi that's consuming oil then the PCV system and EGR will be gummed up. Also highly likely that it's got the bad piston rings in the engine. There was a batch of them from about 2008-2013 that were bad. Costs around £6-8k for an engine rebuild. Of course, only once oil consumption hits 1 Litre per 1000 miles.
