Looking to buy a GTI MK7/7.5
« on: 10 June 2026, 12:39 »
I’m looking to take over care of someone’s pride and joy:
GTI7/7.5

 -Unshagged
 - Stock or easily reverted to stock
 - No previous Cat
 - full service history (specialist or dealer history is a bonus)
 - sunroof is a bonus but not a must
 - ideally manual but will consider auto
 - reasonable mileage (e.g under 75k)

Hi
I have a Golf Gti 245 bhp (AK20 NGO) 2020 , just over 28,000 miles with full service history MOT until July 2027, owned by me for the last 5 years, 19" Brescia's, black mirror caps and black wrapped spoiler. Never been tracked, if you look at my MOT history you will see I'm not really using it, hence reason for sale.

Hi Johnny, Is this still for sale. I've just joined this forum with the main aim to get myself a low miles good condition Mk7.5. If you've sold it; I'm still interested in your thoughts/what to look for/avoid when buying one. Cheers PB

Hiya

Sold it via Motorway, Motorpoint actually bought it for £21,180 and have got it for sale at Burnley Motorpoint for £23450 ish. Nothing at all wrong with the car, I've owned it for the last 5 years and never abused it. Serviced regularly, some at VW and some independent. It is due a service so factor that in, 4 to 5mm on the relatively unmarked Brescia's. Mileage is correct at 28k plus. Mot'd August this year with no advisories although maybe worth a check wether the pads/discs might need changing in the near future (my local garage never said they would and they're spot on with things). It's also had a new battery in the last 6 months, all coded in correctly.

I was 3rd owner btw but the first was a pre reg and the second was private, like me, he actually messaged me as he was still interested in the car.

Hope this helps.
