Volkswagen Jetta, 2007, Kouvola

Now available: a genuine example of German engineering that doesn’t scare easily. This Volkswagen Jetta (2007) has seen the road and the world, but still carries on with dignity.

This is the famous 1.6‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine – a design known for being nearly bomb‑proof and much easier to maintain than newer turbo units.

Specs at a glance:

• Year: 2007

• Engine: 1.6 petrol

• Mileage: 366,000 km (i.e. nicely run‑in)

• Model: Jetta – so Golf comfort, but with a large saloon boot.

Why bid on this one?

Loads of space: The boot fits half a lifetime, sports gear or even your mother‑in‑law’s moving boxes.

Easy to drive: Stable on the motorway and nimble in town.

Simple tech: The 1.6 engine is a straightforward chap – no turbo worries, just dependable running.

Reasonably tidy for its age: Of course 366,000 km has left its marks (some wear and age visible – check the pictures), but overall it still looks, well, respectable.
