Used Volkswagen Golf cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

Why buy a used Volkswagen Golf?

The Volkswagen Golf is, for many, the definitive family hatchback. It's easy to drive and easy to use, with a certain timeless style. There's space for adults in front and back, and enough room to wrestle your offspring into their child seats. If you don't have big hobbies, the five-door hatchback should provide plenty of room, or you can pick the far more capacious Golf Estate with a substantially larger boot.

Popular Volkswagen Golf trims for sale at Motorpoint

Modern Golfs come in two forms – a five-door hatchback and a slightly more practical five-door Golf Estate. You can also get an MPV called the Golf SV, which uses the same parts and engines but gives you a slightly larger cabin and boot.

For pre-2020 Golfs, entry-level cars come in S trim, which gets a few choice features including air conditioning and DAB radio. SE is more popular, however, and adds some neat extras. Match is a popular mid-range trim available on pre-2020 Golfs, or you can also get the popular Match Edition, which upgrades the package with more tech. GT and GT Edition add more styling upgrades and some luxury touches.

For newer Golfs from 2020 onwards, Life is the entry-level model, followed by Style with more kit and R-Line, which gets sporty-looking upgrades inside and out.

Owning a used Volkswagen Golf

There's a reason the Golf has become such an enduringly popular option in the family hatch market. Its focus on keeping things easy, whether that's driving the car or just swapping radio stations, means owning a Golf is never a taxing experience. Used models make the case even easier to argue as you'll be saving thousands of pounds versus buying a brand-new model. Most of the engines deliver strong fuel economy, if you avoid the high-performance options, and servicing should be reasonably affordable
