"Smooth, suave and sophisticated, the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 is a terrific used buy," says What Car?, and this 2015 Golf Match shows exactly why.

It pairs the DSG automatic gearbox with the sought-after 1.6 TDI BlueMotion Technology engine, returning up to 70 mpg on the official figures. Easy around town, relaxed on the motorway and very kind to the running costs; just £20 annual road tax!

Match trim brings all the modern conveniences that matter: air conditioning, DAB digital radio, Bluetooth, adaptive cruise control and front and rear parking sensors. This example also has the optional Mirror Pack, with heated, electrically adjustable, power-folding door mirrors.

Safety is well covered too, with six airbags (dual front, front side and curtain) and a five-star Euro NCAP rating. A space-saver spare wheel is supplied.

For us, a good Golf is about how it has been looked after as much as its specification. This one is in superb condition, with just two former keepers from new and eight documented services, the most recent carried out by us in October 2026. Given the low mileage it is arguably over-serviced, which is exactly what you want to see.
