A used VW Golf is being offered at different prices relying on mainly five factors: what year the car is from, engine size and performance, the car's fuel efficiency, mileage not to mention the equipment level of the car.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer will generally cost more. Similarly, models at the higher end boasting luxurious features or more powerful engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

What equipment options does the VW Golf have?

When examining the market value of a used VW Golf, it's imperative to compare vehicles with identical engines and equipment. If not, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to buy.

Which fuel variants are most in demand for the VW Golf?

The leading fuel choice for the VW Golf is petrol.

Your driving behavior is an important aspect to consider when selecting a fuel type. Do your driving habits lean more towards city streets or open roads and motorways? What is the total distance you drive in a typical week?

If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For those who drive long distances and don't have access to charging, diesel cars can still be an option. Be aware that in several countries, diesel engines that emit high levels of pollutants are barred from urban areas.

Does the VW Golf have multiple body styles?

The VW Golf comes in two different body types; cabriolet and MPV, with the cabriolet being the preferred option. Cabrios and convertibles elevate the driving experience, offering an open-air thrill. Nowadays, many cabrios are suitable for year-round driving due to their high-quality hoods and weatherproofing. However, it's worth noting that convertibles tend to be heavier than standard cars. The absence of a roof often necessitates additional reinforcement to the undercarriage to bolster the chassis.

How does the price vary depending on the VW Golf body type?

• VW Golf cabriolet: 1 car - average price £6,800
• VW Golf mpv: 1 car - average price £7,999
