It's with a heavy heart that I'm listing my much-loved 2006 Golf GTI. This car has been a joy to own - fun, responsive, and full of character - but I now need something with a bit more space, and it's time for someone else to enjoy it. This is a proper driver's car: a 6-speed manual, finished in black, with the iconic tartan seats, unmodified and one of the cleanest examples you'll find. At just 89,000 miles, it's rare to find a MK5 GTI this original and this well looked after. I've spared no expense keeping it mechanically perfect being my daily, and it's ready to go with nothing needing to be done. Recent work includes: Water pump and cambelt Long-life spark plugs + battery both with 3 year warranty 800GBP headliner professionally replaced Full new control arms and bushings (1,200GBP spent) Apple CarPlay professionally installed 2 new front springs and resonator replaced New throttle body, PCV and full vacuum leak test (660GBP) MOT with no advisories, valid until Jan 2026 - No Rust! Extensive service history with pages of invoices and receipts, cold-blowing air con, and everything works exactly as it should. No warning lights, no issues, no surprises. Cosmetically, it has a few age-related marks as expected for a 19-year-old car, but nothing that detracts from its overall appeal or noticeable. This car has been truly cherished. If you're after an enthusiast owned, honest and cared-for MK5 GTI that hasn't been abused, this is the one. Serious buyers only please. Any questions, feel free to get in touch.
