Also mk5 golf are generally a good city and out and about family car. No real shocking stories with them. Prob avoid the higher powered 2.0 common rail diesels if you don't know your way around cars, they are a bit heavier on injectors/turbos/ clutch /flywheels and other £££ issues than the lower powered ones, and "pd" is older type, less power but way more wallet friendly.
1.4tsi is the pick of the petrols, maybe again avoid early dsg 6 speed gearboxes. At this age though they will have mostly failed and been fixed by now so not a deal breaker tbh.
Also people putting common issues abd then fixed in a description is a very good thing by my book, means they understand that they have issues abd this example has been fixed, rather than usual "runs great, excellent condition" and it's actually a total shed that would fetch more at a scrappers
