Description
With an MOT valid until December 2026, this 2008 Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion Match takes the immediate hassle out of ownership, allowing you to drive away with confidence. The running costs are exceptionally low, highlighted by a road tax bill of just £35 per year, which makes it a highly economical choice for daily commuting or as a reliable second car. Finished in blue, this five-door hatchback offers practical access to the rear seats and boot, ensuring it remains versatile for everyday tasks.
Under the bonnet sits the renowned 1.9-litre TDI diesel engine, producing 105 bhp. This powertrain is widely regarded for its durability and torque, providing confident overtaking ability while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a manual transmission, giving the driver full control over the gear selection. The vehicle emits 119 g/km of CO2 and meets Euro 4 emission standards. While this means it is not ULEZ compliant for central London, it remains a cost-effective option for drivers operating outside of clean air zones. The top speed of 115 mph ensures it keeps pace comfortably on motorways, and the seating capacity of five makes it suitable for small families or car-sharing arrangements.
Having covered 151,000 miles across seven previous owners, this Golf has seen regular use but continues to perform well. The dealer notes confirm that the car drives very nicely with no mechanical issues to report, aside from a traction control warning light that is currently displayed on the dashboard. This is presented as a budget-friendly vehicle that is ready to go, offering the solid build quality and driving dynamics Volkswagen is known for, without the premium price tag of newer models. It is a straightforward, honest car for anyone prioritising low running costs and proven reliability.
