The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF PLUS (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF 110 S is a practical, raised-roof version of the familiar Golf: a compact family hatchback with a more upright cabin, rather than a full-size SUV. It suits drivers wanting easy access and useful space without a large car. On mycarcheck.com, this model has 61 checks covering 41 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of researched cars. Checked examples average 118,000 miles and 9,000 miles of annual use; the average recorded private-sale valuation is £2,600. Cars show roughly four previous keepers, so review each vehicle’s history. It is well suited to families, commuters and anyone who values a roomy, versatile cabin for journeys. The 2.0-litre diesel offers economical cruising, while the Golf Plus’ higher seating and flexible interior set it apart from a standard Golf. Against rivals such as the Ford C-Max, it brings Volkswagen styling and a solid, sensible feel.
