2012 Volkswagen Golf GTI

This 2012 Volkswagen Golf GTI is a rare opportunity to own a pristine example of the Mk6 GTI, freshly imported from Japan and showing just 54,000 miles from new. SB is thrilled to be offering this high spec example on the platform. Finished in Candy White and paired with a DSG gearbox, this car benefits from factory Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) giving it adjustable suspension for a perfect balance between comfort and performance. As a Japanese import, this GTI has enjoyed the salt-free roads of a country known for meticulous vehicle maintenance, and it shows – the underside is exceptionally clean and corrosion-free, a real contrast to typical UK examples of this era. The bodywork is in superb condition, and the paintwork still gleams. The DSG transmission offers crisp shifts, while the turbocharged 2.0-litre TSI engine delivers a healthy 210PS for the classic hot hatch punch. With the added benefit of DCC, drivers can toggle between Comfort, Normal and Sport settings to suit the road and mood, making this GTI a versatile companion for both motorway cruising and B-road blasts. Inside, the classic tartan 'Jacara' cloth seats, red accent stitching and soft-touch materials make the cabin feel retro yet refined. Mechanically unmodified and presented in stock form, this car would make an ideal base for an enthusiast or collector seeking an unmolested example. Alternatively, it's ready to be enjoyed immediately as a stylish and practical daily driver. DVLA-registered, this GTI is now offered with a long MOT. With low mileage, rust-free condition, and all the right spec boxes ticked, this Mk6 GTI is a standout example that combines timeless GTI styling, bulletproof engineering, and a premium driving experience.
