Hi Tom,

That’s not so much worrying mileage, more like impressive. It means the Golf has covered on average 39,000 miles per annum! However, the latest Golf is a reliable car and provided the 1.6-litre diesel engine has been looked after throughout its life, then it should be able to soak up such long-distance punishment. If the car looks clean and is well-maintained with a sheaf of paperwork and every service stamp in the book, then it could be worth a punt – provided the price is acceptably lower than the average for a 142-plate Golf.
