The car starts first time, drives well, and has been a dependable vehicle. Bodywork and interior are in good condition for its age, with the usual minor age-related marks you'd expect from a 2007 vehicle
A genuine, honest Golf that's ready to be driven away and enjoyed
Age related issues:
With it being a 19 year old car it's not in perfect condition. I'll list of of the known things to me
1) When replacing the aerial the headliner has loosened - this will likely need replacing (not too expensive if you can do yourself)
2) It did have an emissions issue a few mot's back, the garage unmapped and remapped, this fixed the emissions but occasionally the turbo whines a little - it probably could do with unmapping completely
3) I haven't got round to fixing the 2 remaining advisories on the last MOT, so could need doing - simple fix if you have a jack or ramps to get underneath
4) It could do with re-gassing the aircon, it does blow hot but the cold isn't the best
4) The offside rear passenger door doesn't lock and can be opened when the rest of the car is secure - noted on scan done - needs auto electrician to fix. Never had an issue with this though
5) Intermittent oil sensor workshop warning - didn't come up on scan and every garage I've been to says the sensor just needs replacing - cheap diy fix
If you need more photos or want me to check anything else let me know, it will be sold as seen but I welcome any pre-check you need to do
I can also supply a diagnostics scan done around last MOT time which lists a few things to monitor
