The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2012-17) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TSI BLUEMOTION TECH SS 85 EU5 S is a compact petrol hatchback in the UK’s popular family-car class. Its three-door body gives it a sportier, less practical feel than five-door Golfs, while the modest 1.2-litre engine is aimed at everyday rather than high-performance driving. It competes with cars such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. mycarcheck.com records 246 checks covering 96 distinct VINs, offering a useful snapshot of cars being researched. The data shows an average private-sale valuation of £5,500 and a latest recorded mileage averaging 80,000 miles.

Its balanced, familiar feel and efficient-minded petrol setup remain appealing to buyers.
