Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1996 VW Golf VR6 is listed with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2792cc engine. It comes with extensive paperwork including a service schedule with 26 stamps, suggesting good maintenance, and has a long MOT until 2027, potentially increasing its appeal.
Condition
6
The car description mentions that it was driven to the auction, indicating it's mechanically functional. The paperwork being in order and a service schedule with 26 stamps suggests it has been maintained. However, without a detailed condition report, and only knowing it has been driven to auction, it's rated as 'Good,' implying moderate wear and the potential need for some reconditioning.
