Description

VW Golf 1.6 FSI 'S' Auto, May 2005 reg, Automatic Tiptronic 6 Speed, Petrol, 5-door hatch, 16-valve, Metallic Reflex Silver, ONLY 69,100 miles. Only ONE OWNER before me. I have owned the car for two months during which time it has been faultless - but I need something bigger with cruise control. In my ownership the car has had the following upgrades: Alpine front door speakers, and VW 17-inch alloy wheels (badged 'OZ Racing') with good tyres. FULL COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE HISTORY: 4 VW dealer stamps up to 2013 followed by ten annual services stamps by a local VW specialist independent garage. I had the car serviced at Pfeiffer's VAG Independent Garage in Brighton in June 2025. 1 YEAR MOT up to May 2026 (no advisories). This model has a life-long TIMING CHAIN fitted which does NOT need changing. It also has the hugely reliable TORQUE CONVERTER GEARBOX (not DSG) with additional Tiptronic (manual selection) facility. NEGATIVE POINTS (see last ten photos): bodywork in good condition, with crucially no signs of rust on the wheel arches (typical for a Golf of this age). Some inevitable scrapes which have been reasonably well touched up, and two small dents. Nearside rear light has a cracked lens but has been repaired, sealed and is watertight. Rear offside passenger window winder is jammed and will not lower the glass. Rear wiper can be temperamental. AIRCON: I tried to have the aircon re-gassed at Kwik-Fit this afternoon. They advised it is at 50%, but that the fuse or compressor will need to be replaced before this issue can be rectified. Compressors are available used on Ebay for 40 plus fitting. I don't have the time to do this. One touch electric windows, electric & heated mirrors, remote central locking & immobiliser & alarm, AIR CONDITIONING & Climate control, ABS with electronic brake distribution, immaculate VW patterned upholstery (unmarked), infotainment system including stereo radio & CD/MP3 player, on-board trip computer, 3x3 point rear ISOFIX seat belts, rear wash wiper, folding rear seats, cup holders, 2 KEYS, ESP Electronic Stability Program, new battery last week. So, basically, we have a Golf which has had one previous owner who gave it a very easy life (3500 miles per year) with a full service history. It has spent all its life in Brighton, East Sussex. This Golf is good for another 100,000 miles in my view. You will need proof of insurance to take the car out for a test drive. Happy to email the Car Vertical report.
