It sits at the warmer, performance-focused end of the Golf range, offering more excitement than an ordinary hatch while retaining everyday practicality. Its Pirelli identity gives this GTI appeal to enthusiasts. Mycarcheck.com recorded 60 look-ups covering 15 distinct VINs, giving a useful but still limited snapshot. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £5,700 and average recorded mileage of 115,000 miles.
