Explore quality used Volkswagen cars for sale at Vertu, from the compact Polo and iconic Golf to the family-friendly T-Roc and Tiguan SUVs, the Passat and Arteon, and VW's fully electric ID. range including the ID.3 and ID.4. With efficient TSI petrol, TDI diesel, plug-in hybrid and fully electric options across the range, there's a used VW to suit every budget and every kind of driver. Every one is prepared and checked by our colleagues and backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee, with flexible finance and free home delivery available.
Volkswagen built its reputation on German engineering, build quality and a premium feel that reaches across every class, and the used market is where that quality becomes real value. Earlier registrations put a well-built, well-equipped VW within reach of budgets the new price would rule out, from superminis to large SUVs and the fully electric ID. range.
The used Volkswagen line-up at Vertu takes in the Up and Polo superminis, the iconic Golf, the Passat and Arteon, a full run of SUVs from the T-Cross to the Touareg, roomy MPVs, and VW's growing electric ID. models. Whichever body style and powertrain suits you, there's likely a used VW built around it.
Every used Volkswagen at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car isn't right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.
Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, runs across the used Volkswagen range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards the one you're moving to. Wherever you are, a Vertu VW dealership can help you find it.
Buying used also widens what your budget reaches. The money that buys an entry engine when new can move you up a trim, a powertrain or a whole model class second-hand, with the car already through the steepest part of its depreciation.
A used Volkswagen appeals on three counts: value, a wide choice of models, and the German engineering and quality the brand is known for, all of which carry over to the second owner.
Renowned build quality, efficient TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines, the smooth DSG automatic gearbox and a premium cabin make a used Volkswagen satisfying to own, whether you're commuting, covering long motorway miles or carrying the family.
What changes is the price. A year or two of someone else's ownership takes the hardest hit of depreciation, so a used Volkswagen often lands a higher trim, a larger engine, or a step up in model, inside the same budget.
Choice is the other draw. Because Volkswagen covers superminis, hatchbacks, SUVs, MPVs and a full electric range, the used market carries a broad mix of trims, colours and drivetrains, backed by parts and servicing that are straightforward to source.

*The highlights shown describe the models in general terms. Used examples at Vertu span several model years, so specification, powertrains and features vary by age and trim, and not every fuel type listed was offered in every year. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.
WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a helpful guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range and efficiency will vary with weather, driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load.
VW's fully electric cars all wear the "ID." badge, and on the used market they now cover much of the range. The ID.3 is a fully electric family hatchback, roughly the size of a Golf, while the ID.4 and its coupe-styled ID.5 sibling are electric family SUVs. The ID.7 is a long-range executive saloon and Tourer estate, and the distinctive ID. Buzz reimagines the classic camper-van shape as a spacious electric people carrier.
All ID. models are fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, and plug in to charge at home or at public chargers. Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model, battery and age, so a colleague can confirm the details of any specific car. For drivers not ready to go fully electric, several petrol models are also offered as plug-in hybrids, including the Golf, Passat, Tiguan and Touareg.
A few badges come up a lot when browsing used Volkswagens. TSI denotes the turbocharged petrol engines, known for a good balance of power and efficiency, while TDI denotes the turbocharged diesels, prized for strong economy and pulling power that suit high-mileage and motorway drivers. DSG is VW's smooth dual-clutch automatic gearbox, a popular choice for fast, seamless gear changes; as with any automatic, it's worth checking its servicing has been kept up.
On trim levels, R-Line is a popular sport-inspired trim that gives a car the aggressive look of a performance model, with sculpted bumpers and larger wheels, while keeping a standard, efficient engine. A full R model, like the Golf R, is a dedicated high-performance car with a more powerful engine, uprated chassis and all-wheel drive. Which engine, gearbox and trim a specific used Volkswagen has makes a real difference to running costs and driving feel, so a colleague can confirm exactly what any car is.
Buying a used Volkswagen from Vertu means the same checked, prepared car and the same guarantees, whichever dealership you use. Here's what that looks like.
| What We Offer | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Volkswagen dealerships across the UK | Colleagues who know the range, from your first enquiry through to handover. |
| Comprehensive multi-point checks | Every used car prepared to the highest standards by our technicians before it reaches the forecourt. |
| 14-day money-back guarantee | A fortnight to change your mind, with an exchange or a refund. |
| Part-exchange accepted | We value your current car and put it towards your used Volkswagen. |
| Tailored finance packages | PCP and HP payment plans arranged around your budget, not a fixed template. |
| Free home delivery up to 30 miles | Your Volkswagen brought to your door at no extra cost (T&Cs apply). |

| Volkswagen-trained servicing | Manufacturer-trained colleagues and genuine parts for every service. |
Spreading the cost of a used VW is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.
Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.
A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. For VW finance figures tailored to you, our finance explained guide sets out the options, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.

Vertu stocks a broad range of used Volkswagen cars, from the compact Up and Polo, through the iconic Golf, the Passat and Arteon, and a full run of SUVs from the T-Cross and T-Roc to the Tiguan and flagship Touareg, plus MPVs and the fully electric ID. range including the ID.3, ID.4 and ID. Buzz. Availability changes daily as cars arrive and sell, so the live listings show what's in stock now.
Between the hatchbacks, saloons, SUVs, MPVs and electric models, the used VW line-up covers most everyday needs and a full range of powertrains, from TSI petrol and TDI diesel to plug-in hybrid and fully electric. A colleague can help you narrow it down by budget, body style or fuel type.
Volkswagen has a strong reputation for reliability, often outperforming other brands in owner surveys, and with proper maintenance many models are known for their longevity. A car with a full, verifiable service history, like the ones prepared at Vertu, is a smart and dependable choice.
As with any used car, condition comes down to how it's been looked after. Every used VW at Vertu is inspected and prepared before sale, and a colleague can talk you through a car's history and service record.
It depends on what you need. The Golf is the natural all-rounder, with a great balance of space, comfort and low running costs. If you want something smaller, the Polo is an ideal efficient supermini, while the T-Roc and Tiguan are the popular SUV choices for families.
For the lowest running costs, the plug-in hybrid and fully electric ID. models are worth a look. A colleague can match the right model to your budget and driving.
TSI engines are turbocharged petrol engines, known for a good balance of power and efficiency, making them a great all-round choice for most drivers. TDI engines are turbocharged diesels, offering excellent fuel economy and strong low-end pulling power, which makes them ideal for high-mileage and motorway driving.
Both are considered reliable with proper maintenance. Which suits you comes down to your mileage and the kind of driving you do, and a colleague can help you decide.
Yes. DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) is Volkswagen's advanced dual-clutch automatic, providing fast, smooth gear changes and, in many cases, improved fuel efficiency compared with a traditional automatic. It's a popular and well-proven system.
As with any automatic gearbox, keeping to its servicing schedule, including the specific fluid changes, is important for long-term reliability. A colleague can confirm the service history of any DSG-equipped used VW you're considering.
Yes. Vertu stocks used Volkswagen electric cars from the ID. range, including the ID.3 hatchback, the ID.4 and ID.5 SUVs, the ID.7 saloon and Tourer, and the ID. Buzz, all fully electric with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Stock depends on what has come through as used, so the live listings show current availability.
Range, charging speed and equipment vary by model, battery and trim, so confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague. Plug-in hybrid versions of several models, including the Golf, Passat and Tiguan, are also available for drivers who want electric running with a petrol backup.
Both are class leaders that suit different needs. The used Polo is a premium supermini, offering a high-quality feel in a compact package that's perfect for city driving and lower running costs. The used Golf is the definitive family hatchback, with more interior space, a larger boot and a more refined ride, making it the better choice for families and long-distance travel.
R-Line is a popular sport-inspired trim that gives a car the aggressive, sculpted look of a high-performance model, with more dynamic bumpers, larger alloy wheels and a sportier interior, while keeping a standard, efficient TSI or TDI engine. It offers the performance look without the higher running costs of a full performance car.
A full R model, such as the Golf R, is different: a dedicated high-performance car with a more powerful engine, uprated chassis and all-wheel drive. A colleague can confirm whether a specific used Volkswagen is R-Line trim or a full R model.
Yes. Vertu offers PCP and HP finance across its used Volkswagen range, and accepts part-exchange towards any car. A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth, and Vertu will still buy vehicles that have finance outstanding to settle.
PCP keeps monthly payments lower with an optional final payment, while HP splits the full cost into fixed payments until the car is yours. For figures tailored to you, our finance explained guide covers each option, and your local dealership can prepare a personalised quotation.
Every used Volkswagen is prepared and checked by Vertu's colleagues before it reaches the forecourt. That includes a full mechanical inspection, bodywork and paint repairs to match the original finish, alloy wheel refurbishment, and a check of the interior and electronics, so each car is ready to drive away.
Vertu also confirms every used car is free of outstanding finance and has never been written off or used as a taxi. Cars are sold with at least six months, or 6,000 miles, before the next service or MOT is due.
Yes. You can reserve or buy a used Volkswagen online through Vertu, choosing home delivery or collection from your local dealership. Free home delivery is available up to 30 miles, and every used car comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can change your mind after it arrives.
The process runs from browsing stock to a part-exchange valuation, then delivery or collection, with a personalised video tour of the car available before you commit. A colleague can guide you through any step online or by phone.
