Used Volkswagen Golf SV 2014-2020 reliability review
The Volkswagen Golf SV is a good MPV, but it’s hard to forget that a Golf Estate is more spacious and the T-Roc is more stylish
What should I look for in a used Volkswagen Golf SV?
The Golf SV will have been used in city centre car parks and tight urban rat runs so check the front and rear of the body for any signs of damage. Also check the alloy wheels for any kerb damage. Check the operation of the rear seats; make sure they slide backwards and forwards easily, and that they fold as they should.
