The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF 140 GT DSG AUTO6 is a five-door family hatchback, sitting in the UK’s popular medium-sized car class. It combines a 2.0-litre diesel engine with an automatic gearbox, giving buyers a practical alternative to smaller city cars and larger family estates. Its restrained styling and familiar Golf shape make it an easy-to-place used choice. mycarcheck.com has recorded 3,857 checks covering 1,480 distinct VINs, a substantial sample of this Golf variant. The average private-sale valuation is £3,700, while recorded cars average 120,000 miles, 8,000 miles a year and nearly five previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, but condition, service history, mileage and vehicle history can make individual examples worth more or less. The diesel’s pace and automatic transmission suit commuting and family duties, while five doors make access straightforward. Against rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, the Golf is known for its cabin and composed drive; check each car’s records carefully.
