2022 Volkswagen Golf GTD Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a bit now — it’s a 2022 Mk8 GTD hatchback, only done 23,000 miles, and honestly, it’s one of the coolest examples of the Golf you can find. The 2.0 TDI engine is no joke — 200ps, smooth as silk, and it’s got that punchy feel you’d expect from a GTD. It’s got that moonstone grey paint, 19-inch Adelaide wheels, and the classic GTI styling — it looks like a hot hatch straight out of the 80s, but with all the modern stuff under the skin.

Inside, it’s got that familiar GTI vibe — patterned cloth seats, full-colour touchscreen, premium sound system, DAB radio, sat nav, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Heated steering wheel, virtual cockpit, rear parking camera, adaptive cruise — all the good bits. I’ve got climate control and air conditioning working perfectly, and the cabin feels spotless and well put together.

I bought it from a second owner in Morecambe who reached out through our Bye Buy Motors section to get a valuation. We agreed on a fair price, and it’s been fully prepared here in Stanley, County Durham. It’s been through a full 12-month MOT with no advisories, a proper service, and a 200-point health check. We also ran it through our bodyshop for a proper quality check — nothing missed.

It’s ready to drive right now. I’ve had it checked over by our Bosch service team — they did a 60-point inspection, fresh service, and all the safety bits are in order. The car’s been treated like it’s going to be a daily driver, so it’s in great shape.

If you’re thinking about grabbing it, I’d say don’t wait — it’s one of those cars you’ll actually want to drive every day. You can reserve it with a £250 deposit that’s fully refundable, and we’re so confident in how we prepare cars that if you find a similar one at another garage with the same level of service and prep, we’ll match their price and give you £500 back.

We’re based at Redgate Lodge in Stanley, County Durham. Cars under £14k are at our Redgate Lodge Select Site, Unit 4, Elm Road, North Shields NE29 8SE. Anything over £14k is at our main site, New York Road, Shiremoor, NE27 0ER. Either way, we’re open Monday to Saturday — closed Sundays.

If you want to see it in person or get a feel for it, just give us a ring on 0191 2661081. We’re just off the A19, a couple of minutes from the Silverlink Retail Park.

And yeah — it’s not cheap at £25,191, but it’s a solid, well-prepared car with a lot of character. I’m not selling it for a quick profit — I’m just giving it a new home. If you’re a fan of the Golf, this one’s worth a look.
