About this car

The advertised mileage for this 2012 Volkswagen Golf is 53,000 miles. Our estimated market asking price is £6,419. This car is advertised at £5,495, which is £924 below that figure. We use UK dealer asking prices, including 10,570 Volkswagen Golf listings, and account for the car’s age, mileage and specification. Since we first spotted the advert 30 days ago, the asking price has dropped by £500. The last MOT shows 53,616 miles, more than the advert. This is worth checking with the dealer.

Price and mileage comparison

Estimated market asking price: £6,419. The asking price is £924 below this estimate.

The estimate uses UK dealer asking prices, accounting for make, model, trim, version, age, mileage, fuel, gearbox, body type, driven wheels, engine size and power. It estimates an advertised price, not a confirmed sale price.

The pricing calculation includes 10,570 adverts of this make and model across different ages and specifications.

Advertised mileage is approximately 29,600 miles lower than typical for a 2012 Volkswagen Golf.

Mileage concern: the advertised mileage is below the last MOT reading; ask the dealer to explain.
