Vehicle details
Acquired directly through the family of its sole owner, this Golf R has a provenance that stands out. The owner bought it as his retirement car and took exceptional pride in maintaining it. Supplied and registered new by Crawley Volkswagen, it remains fully factory original, HPI clear and presented with both keys, full owners pack and matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.
The service history is exemplary. Volkswagen main dealer entries run up to 24, 526 miles in 2021, including the Haldex service, followed by annual servicing at his trusted local independent. Across 5 service entries over 42, 951 miles, the car averages roughly 8, 500 miles per interval, which is considerably better than the recommended 18, 000-mile schedule. This level of maintenance places it ahead of many comparable examples and provides strong mechanical reassurance.
This example benefits from desirable factory upgrades. Discover Navigation Pro enhances the cabin with a larger high-resolution screen, DVD-based mapping and Guide and Inform Plus services. The Dynaudio Excite sound system provides a significant uplift in audio clarity and depth. DCC gives adaptive damping with Comfort, Normal and Race settings, allowing the driver to tailor the chassis for daily use or spirited driving. The panoramic glass sunroof brightens the cabin, while Dynamic Light Assist adds intelligent headlight control for improved night visibility. A rear-view camera, enhanced tint to the rear glass and integrated voice activation complete a strong set of options that materially improve the driving experience and ownership appeal.
The standard specification is extensive and includes Active Info Display, App Connect, heated front seats, sports seats with R branding, climate control, ambient cabin lighting, Progressive Steering, R sports suspension, LED headlights with curve functionality, R styling pack, front and rear parking sensors, Mirror Pack, winter pack, stainless steel pedals, leather multifunction steering wheel with paddles, carbon-touch interior trim inserts and numerous convenience and safety systems such as Front Assist, XDS, adaptive cruise control, ESC and the Pre-Crash occupant protection system.
Condition throughout is very good. The car presents cleanly, drives as expected and retains the feel of a carefully kept, single-owner example. Every MOT has been passed without a failure since new, with the only advisory on record being a single windscreen chip in 2023, comes complete with a fresh and full 12 Month MOT.
A rare opportunity to acquire a local, one-owner Golf R that has been cherished and maintained well above average. Please contact us to discuss the vehicle or arrange a viewing.
