Our Verdict

A strong buy for those looking for a low-mileage hatchback with a consistent history. This Golf has been well-maintained, though recent MOTs suggest attention to routine consumable items.

When inspecting this specific vehicle, check the service history to ensure the 1.4 TSI engine has been serviced according to interval, as the car has covered relatively low mileage. Given the MOT failure for thin brake pads in 2025 and worn discs in 2024, verify that the brakes have been replaced properly rather than just topped up.

Pay close attention to the tyres. The most recent MOT noted both front tyres were worn close to the limit and on the edge, which could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension. Ensure the current owner has addressed any uneven wear to ensure you aren't hit with an immediate expense after purchase.
