About this car

The Mk4 Golf R32 paired a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre VR6 with 4MOTION all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox, and it is now a sought-after modern classic. This 2003 car has covered just 18,608 miles, which is exceptionally low for the age. It was supplied new in May 2003 by Autohaus Bartels in Hude, Germany, as a factory collection car, and it is right-hand drive.

The car is finished in Black Magic pearl paint with factory König leather wingback seats and the upgraded radio navigation system. The dealer says it has been repainted in its original colour because of minor marks in the original paint, with photographs of the work. The page also lists two keys (the spare unused), a history file with the original bill of sale and old tax discs, and some R32 promotional items.

Servicing runs from 2005 to 2025, with a recommission and major service including the Haldex unit in 2021. The clutch and release bearing were replaced in 2023 after a leak, a known weak point on these cars. The MOT history shows mileage rising steadily to 18,608 miles in 2026, and the car is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The page quotes 0 previous owners on the V5 but also describes the car as one-owner, so the owner count is unclear.
