There are currently 12 used Volkswagen Golfs available on Motoring.Today, with prices ranging from £6,995 to £28,595. You could drive away a Golf from just £156 per month on a representative finance example. The Volkswagen Golf is a highly versatile and popular choice, offered here in both Hatchback and Convertible body styles. Our listings include petrol, diesel, and hybrid fuel types, with model years spanning from 2013 to a new 2024 example. This broad selection caters to a wide range of drivers, from those seeking an economical daily commuter to enthusiasts looking for a more spirited drive. A commonly reported strength of the Golf across many generations is its build quality and refined driving experience, often contributing to its strong residual values. However, potential buyers might want to specifically check the infotainment system's functionality and connectivity, as this has been an area where some owners have reported occasional minor glitches. The ULEZ status for these cars will depend on the specific model and engine. Typically, petrol cars from roughly 2006 onwards (Euro 4) and diesel cars from September 2015 onwards (Euro 6) meet ULEZ emission standards. You can easily see the ULEZ status for each vehicle on its individual listing. You can filter the results on this page to find cars that fit your preferred monthly budget or cash price.
