2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance DSG 230 BHP

Pre-bids

Highlights

  • One registered keeper from new
  • VW main dealer service history comprising 12 annual services
  • MOT until October 2027 with no advisories
  • Unmodified, factory standard example
  • Factory fitted performance pack with electronic slip differential and uprated brakes

The Appeal

The Mk7 Golf GTI Performance is widely regarded as one of the finest hot hatchbacks of its generation. This was a more powerful, visceral iteration of the legendary Wolfsburg pocket rocket, with an electronic slip differential, larger brakes and an additional 10 BHP over the standard GTI, sharpening an already capable chassis. Paired with the slick DSG gearbox, it offers a compelling blend of everyday usability and genuine driver engagement.
This particular example has been in the care of a single registered keeper since new, covering just 15,800 miles. It has been serviced annually by VW main dealers regardless of mileage. The vendor notes that the car is a factory-standard, unmodified example. A modern classic that ticks all of the boxes and is ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
