Highlights
- Right-hand drive Japanese import

- Volkswagen’s 2.0-litre TSI engine powers the front wheels via a six-speed DSG gearbox
The Appeal
When you need a car that can handle a B road with the same aplomb as it can handle the school run, the Volkswagen Golf GTI has always been the answer.
True to form, this 2011 four-door Mk6 is a brilliant all-rounder with a six-speed DSG gearbox that can be as relaxed or as aggressive as befits the occasion. In right-hand drive and imported from Japan, this car is now ready to be registered in Europe and enjoyed.
The History and Paperwork
- Displays 83,414 kilometres on the odometer which the vendor informs us is supported by the history on the export documentation
- Imported from Japan in 2023
- Cleared Italian customs in February 2023
- We’re informed that the last service was performed at around 78,000 kilometres
- It is due a recommended DSG service within the 60,000-80,000 kilometre range
- Original Japanese book pack and maintenance record

- Two sets of keys
The Interior
- Classic GTI tartan upholstery
- All of the seats appear really smart with little in the way of wear
- The black carpeting is very practical and in nice condition
- The vendor points out some faults to the headlining where the fabric looks to have reacted to temperature or UV light
- Aftermarket touchscreen stereo / infotainment system
- We’re informed that everything works correctly
- Analogue instrumentation
- All the switchgear presents well
- Useful boot space and generous rear seating provision
The Exterior
- Sporty styling with a discreet spoiler and red GTI stripes on the grille
- Black paintwork
- There are a few marks here and there including some scuffs to the nearside rear corner
- Overall, the paint is smart for its age and with a little work, would look really smart
- The striking alloy wheels exhibit some kerbing and general deterioration but remain quite presentable
- The headlamps are becoming a little clouded, as is the top edge of the windscreen but this does not affect the driver’s view in any way
- The underside would appear to be in very good order
The Mechanics
- 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine
- Six-speed DSG gearbox
- The vendor informs us that it drives really well, benefitting from its low milage and recent servicing
- There are apparently no issues to report
Summary
There’s a lot to love about the Volkswagen Golf GTI. This 2001 example has fairly few kilometres on the odometer for its age and is in very good overall condition.
