The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDI CR DPF 105 BLUEMOTION is a family hatchback offering a refined alternative to smaller city cars. Its three-door body gives it a sportier look, though rear-seat access is less convenient than in a five-door Golf. It competes with the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 326 look-ups covering 135 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this specific version. The checked cars averaged 112,000 miles, around 9,000 miles a year, and nearly four previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £3,000. These are historical averages, not a price guide or a guarantee of any individual car’s condition. With its efficient 1.6-litre diesel, it suits commuters and small households seeking an economical car for everyday journeys. Known for a mature cabin and composed drive, the Golf BlueMotion is a sensible rival to Focus and Astra diesels; check service history and condition carefully.
