A genuinely cherished and exceptionally well-maintained Golf GT Sport 2.0 TDI 140, owned by me for the last 10 years. The previous owner kept the car from 2009, giving it a remarkably low ownership history for its age.

This is the sought-after 140hp 2.0 TDI engine without a DPF, making it a simpler and increasingly desirable version of the Mk5 Golf. It has covered 152,000 miles, the majority of which have been longer motorway journeys, and it continues to drive superbly.

I am hoping the car goes to someone who will appreciate it and continue to look after it as it deserves. It has never been run on a budget and has always received whatever it needed.

Honest Description

I want to be completely transparent about the condition:

• Slight corrosion beginning on the left-hand side of the tailgate
• Stone chips to the bonnet and front bumper, worst of which touched in using genuine Volkswagen touch-up paint
• A few age-related marks consistent with a car of this age

All of these areas have been photographed as accurately as possible.
