Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2012-17) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 TDI BLUEMOTION TECH DPF SS 105 EU5 SE is a practical, mid-sized family estate: a familiar Golf with a longer load area and useful rear space.

Its 1.6-litre diesel and BlueMotion efficiency focus are appealing to high-mileage users. The SE trim provides a comfortable, straightforward specification for daily use.
