The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF PLUS (2009-14) is a compact family hatchback with a taller, more upright shape than a regular Golf. It sits between a conventional hatchback and a small people carrier in the UK used-car market, offering easier access and a roomier feel without the bulk of a full-size MPV. mycarcheck.com has recorded 7,045 checks covering 3,180 different VINs, a substantial sample of used-car interest. Its checks show an average private-sale value of £3,100 and average recorded mileage of 104,000 miles; typical annual use is 7,000 miles. Cars checked had averaged around three to four previous keepers in the sample. Its raised seating and flexible cabin make the Golf Plus a practical choice for small families, older passengers and commuters wanting easy everyday comfort. It feels more spacious than many ordinary hatchbacks while retaining familiar Golf manners; compared with rivals such as the Ford C-MAX, it is a practical all-rounder.
