Powered by the legendary 1.9L turbo diesel engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, it offers an incredible mix of punchy performance and 55+ MPG economy.

This is a true enthusiast's vehicle with Service History and a long MOT valid until February 2027. Due to an unresolved fault before my ownership, the car was off the road for 5 years before being determined and fixed. The service history is present, some in the service book and others as garage reciepts. Some minor services were conducted by the previous owner. I have used a garage, however.

Premium Maintenance Highlights: 

April 2024 (128,468 miles): Major overhaul including a brand new Cambelt Kit & Water Pump, fresh coolant, new auxiliary belt, near-side outer drive shaft CV boot, near-side rear brake caliper, and a full pressure brake fluid bleed.

April 2026 (136,493 miles): Full service, fresh engine oil/filters, and a brand new replacement throttle body.

Current Mileage: 137,000 miles (fully warranted by history).The engine runs beautifully, holds perfect temperature, and pulls with full power through every gear. The car has been priced honestly to reflect its age and a few known cosmetic and electrical flaws typical of the Mk4 platform.

Known Points (Priced Accordingly):

Mechanical/Electrical: 

The Engine Management Light (EML) is actively on due to an EGR valve code. This is very common on these models—the car runs perfectly, it does not affect performance, and it is NOT in limp mode. The air conditioning does not blow cold, the rear washer jet is blocked, and the tailgate latch has an intermittent wiring fault.

Bodywork/Interior: 

There is typical Mk4 flaking rust on the lower front driver-side sill/arch corner, a shallow dent on the driver's front wing, and localized lacquer peel on the edge of the bonnet. The interior is very clean, showing only standard wear to the driver’s outer seat bolster.

This car drives brilliantly and is a fantastic, honest rolling project for a VW enthusiast or a bulletproof commuter. Sold strictly as seen—please review all close-up photos before making an offer. Message with any questions.
