RARE 2007 VW BEETLE 1.8 TURBO - ONLY 56,664 MILES - SALSA RED
A rare opportunity to own a low-mileage example of the 2007 VW Beetle 1.8 Turbo, finished in beautiful Salsa Red.
According to the latest DVLA/DfT-derived figures, only fourteen 2007 Beetle Turbos remain licensed for UK roads, making this an increasingly unusual modern Beetle.
Registered on a 57 plate and having covered just 56,664 miles, the car has been owned by my wife since 2012, when she purchased it with approximately 33,000 miles. It has had 3 previous owners and has therefore covered only around 23,600 miles during our 14 years of ownership.
The car is in very good condition for its age. The leather interior is exceptionally clean throughout with no rips or marks to the upholstery. The Salsa Red paintwork presents very well with no fading, having been regularly cleaned and waxed. There are just a few minor stone chips consistent with its age.
Specification includes 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine, leather upholstery, heated driver and passenger seats, air conditioning, rear parking sensors, front fog lights, heated mirrors and alloy wheels.
Service history is present up to 2020. Since then my wife has worked from home and the Beetle has seen very little use, hence the exceptionally low mileage. It has a full MOT history and the current MOT runs until March 2027.
For complete transparency, following an MOT failure in 2022, welding was carried out to corrosion around the suspension component mounting prescribed areas on both sides.
After 14 years of ownership, the time has come for someone else to enjoy it.
With its rare 1.8 Turbo specification, low mileage, long-term ownership, excellent interior and striking unfaded Salsa Red paintwork, this is a particularly appealing example for an enthusiast looking for a Beetle to enjoy and preserve as an increasingly uncommon modern classic.
