Enter the registration above to confirm the exact model, engine, fuel type and power. Compare them with the advert — if they don't match, ask the seller why.
Things worth checking on a Volkswagen Golf
- Full service history, including timing belt or chain work where due
- On diesels, how the car is driven — lots of short trips can affect the diesel particulate filter
- A smooth gear change, especially on automatic (DSG) gearboxes
- Warning lights on the dashboard after the engine starts
- That the mileage on the dashboard fits the wear on the seats, steering wheel and pedals
Questions to ask the seller
- "Is there any finance still owed on the car?"
- "Has it ever been in an accident or an insurance claim?"
- "Was it imported, and if so, from where?"
- "Can I see the service history and the latest NCT certificate?"
- "Can I see the logbook, and does the name match yours?"
