2017 Volkswagen Golf GTD Diesel Hatchback

Description

I’ve had this 2017 Golf GTD for a few years now, and it’s honestly been one of the best drivers I’ve ever had. Only two owners so far — I’ve kept it well looked after, and it’s been a solid workhorse for my daily commute and weekend trips.

It’s a 2.0L diesel, Euro 6 compliant, and gets you from 0 to 62 in about 7.5 seconds — not the fastest, but it’s smooth and punchy, especially on the highway. The GTD trim gives it a bit of a sporty edge — LED headlights with dynamic cornering lights, heated windscreen, and automatic lights that turn on at dusk. The cabin is clean, quiet, and comfy, with climate control and adaptive cruise that really helps on long drives.

Inside, there’s a touch-screen navigation system with Car-Net, heated seats, a decent amount of storage, and loads of practical touches — cup holders, storage bins, even a folding armrest with cup holders in the back. The 19-inch alloy wheels (Brescia or Seville depending on what you see) look sharp, and the styling is pretty cool — GTD badges, black honeycomb grille, rear spoiler, and that grey strip running through the front.

I’ve had it serviced right up to August 2025, and the MOT runs until July 2026. It’s been checked thoroughly, no hidden fees, and I’ve got a full 12-month AA cover and a 5-day drive-away insurance policy. No admin charges — just straightforward, clean ownership.

I’m based in Wingate, County Durham, so if you’re local or nearby, I’m happy to chat or even arrange a test drive. I’ve only ever used it for regular use, so it’s been well-maintained and runs true to its specs.

I’ve kept it simple — no flashy marketing, just a solid, reliable car that’s actually enjoyable to drive. If you’re thinking of getting a diesel with a bit of tech and a bit of style, this one’s been a real favourite.

P.S. The price is £10,889 — not a lot to say about that, honestly, it’s just how it sits. But if you’re serious, I can give you a quick valuation or even help you with finance options. Just let me know.
