Never had a GTi6 but ive had 2 XSi cabbys so basically the same engine and same massive weight.
Between both of them Ive averaged 28-29mpg mainly round town and round the airport dual carriageways. With a motorway drive at 70mph I averaged 38mpg. If I hoon it I get less than 20mpg.
Cam belt being changed is important, a tapper is one where its had the belt snap and not had the damage inside the head repaired.
Other than that its usual 306 things to look for.
