Description
Solid 2009 Volkswagen Golf Mk VI 1.4 TSI (5-door, grey) with around 93k miles (will be going up slightly as still using to go to the gym and back couple days a week until sold) - properly looked after and ready for the next owner.
Reason for selling is no longer needed as i am moving country.
Why this is priced this way: This car has a brand new timing chain fitted. This engine is well known for timing chain issues starting around 90,000 miles - a lot of similar Golfs on Auto Trader at 70-80k miles haven't had it done yet, so the buyer will need to spend 500+ on this job soon. My car has it done before it went, so the next owner is set for a long while with no worries. That's real money saved and one less thing to break.
Comes with a few quality upgrades that add value and make it more convenient to drive. Ready to go, no work needed.
What's been upgraded:
New timing chain fitted - major reliability item, costs 500+ to get done with most mechanics, now set for many miles and a way longer engine life
K&N Air intake filter upgraded - better airflow, totally reversible, original housing kept
Apple CarPlay system (150 value) - fully updated, modern interface with navigation, music, calls, spotify, apple and google maps, adjustable equaliser system
Original carplay system kept and included
Yellow front brake calipers - proffesionally painted, looks sporty, no mechanical change
Rear windows tinted (passenger + back window)
35% on rear passenger
5% on back window
RaceChip performance module included - plug and play, 7 modes (Eco+, Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+, Race, Race+). Can turn it off instantly and car returns to stock. Eco mode saves fuel, Sport/Race gives extra power when you want it
Maintenance and reliability:
Car overall has been very well maintained and looked after considering its age, slight mini scratches in a couple of places but barely noticable, especially from distance, alloy wheels are abit decayed but every model of this car is the same with these its unevitable, very slight minor rust near wheel arches but nothing worth worrying about at all, passed all the recent MOTs easy and everything in solid working condition, not had any problems with it at all since i bought it around a year ago
Service history available
MOT valid until 22/9/26
All original parts still here if buyer wants car back to stock
Light upgrades, reversible, no insurance declaration needed
