Viewing and inspection welcome.

I bought this Golf R because I wanted something that was genuinely exciting to drive but still practical enough to use every day. The Mk6 Golf R has always stood out to me because it combines performance, four-wheel drive and everyday usability in a way that very few cars manage to do.

What really makes this one special is its combination of condition, mileage, history and tasteful modifications. At just 48, 000 miles, it’s a very low-mileage example, and it has an extensive documented Japanese and UK history. The CAR VX report provides a detailed record of its Japanese history, including auction records showing a 4. 5 grade and consistent mileage progression. The report is available for genuinely interested buyers to view.

It has the desirable DSG gearbox, 4MOTION four-wheel drive and DCC adaptive suspension, giving you the option of a comfortable car for everyday driving or something much more engaging when you want to have some fun.

I’ve also modified the car to give it the look, sound and character I wanted without losing what makes the Golf R such a great car.

The car has:

* Maxton Design body kit
* Rotiform RC202 GRZ 18-inch alloy wheels
* Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres
* Powerflow exhaust
* GruppeM air induction
* K&N performance filter
* Stage 1 remap
* Dinitrol underbody protection

The maintenance has also been a major priority. It has extensive Japanese and UK service documentation, with the DSG and Haldex both serviced at 42, 440 miles, along with recent oil/ filter servicing and air-filter replacement. It also has a full year’s MOT with no advisories.

For me, the favourite thing about the car is the way it drives. The combination of the 2. 0 TFSI, DSG and 4MOTION gives it that instant performance and confidence that makes even an ordinary drive enjoyable. It feels planted, quick and purposeful, while still being a genuinely usable hatchback.

It also has that classic Mk6 Golf R character that newer cars don’t quite replicate. It’s compact, understated and analogue enough to feel special, but still has plenty of performance.

I genuinely love this car and wouldn’t be selling it simply because I wanted something different. I’ve only decided to put it up for sale because I’ve found a BMW M135i that I consider something special enough to make me change cars. If I hadn’t found that particular car, I’d happily keep the Golf.

I’m therefore looking for a buyer who understands what they’re looking at and will appreciate the car rather than simply looking for the cheapest Golf R available.

The combination of 48, 000 miles, extensive documented history, 4. 5 Japanese auction grades, CAR VX provenance, DSG and Haldex servicing, DCC, tasteful modifications and excellent overall condition makes this a particularly interesting Mk6 Golf R.

Viewing and inspection are welcome, and I’m happy to show the full supporting documentation and CAR VX report to genuinely interested buyers.
