VW Mk5 Golf 20TDI 140 GT Sport. This is a one owner car which I purchased new in 2009. It has been a pleasure to own and drive and even now with 183000 miles on the clock, it still has a strong engine with plenty of power and continues to return 50-55mpg.

It comes with a complete manufacturers service history up to 100,000 and from then on I have serviced it every year. All four tyres have a good amount of tread, the rears only just fitted last year.

The main extras that came with the car is the leather interior and a tow bar, but it has all the usual GT features which all work correctly although the AC will need re-gassing.

With such a reliable vehicle it has always been my intention to keep it until it falls apart, and sad to say that time has come. After 17 years of ownership, the dreaded rust has reared its head, which a preliminary MOT inspection revealing the sills will need some repairs. It could get away with patches but to give the car more years of life I would suggest two new sills.

The general condition of the car is okay, but it does have some rust on the wheel arches of both front wings and the odd age related marks. It's not perfect by any means, hence I am selling at what I consider a spares or repair price, although it is still driveable until 17th September when the present MOT runs out.

If you are handy with a welder and don't mind the odd bit of welding and are looking for this type of vehicle, you could not go far wrong for this car at this price. I am certainly open to offers but it is sold as seen with cash on collection. I offer no warranty and if you want further pictures, please get in contact. Thanks for looking.
