2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1.8T SEL – 113K MILES – CLEAN CARFAX – 20 SERVICE RECORDS – RIDGELINE INSPECTED

113,884 Miles | Stock #J1097 VIN: 3VWL17AJ8HM297177 1.8L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder | 170 HP | Automatic | Front-Wheel Drive SEL Trim

If you're looking for an affordable European sedan that's comfortable, quick, fuel-efficient and well equipped, this 2017 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T SEL is a great one to consider.

This isn't the base-engine Jetta. It has Volkswagen's 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 170 horsepower, giving it noticeably stronger performance while still making an excellent everyday commuter. Our shop records confirm the 1.8L CPKA turbo engine and 170-horsepower rating.

CARFAX shows 20 documented service records, three previous owners, no accidents or damage reported, and Colorado as its most recent state of ownership.

CLEAN CARFAX

CARFAX reports:

No accidents or damage reported No structural damage reported No airbag deployment reported No indication of odometer rollback No open recalls reported

This Jetta also has an interesting ownership history. The first owner leased it in California, and the most recent owner purchased it in 2022 and kept it for approximately 4 years and 5 months, averaging about 13,261 miles per year.

PREVIOUSLY VOLKSWAGEN CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED

Another nice part of the history: in July 2020 this Jetta was sold through a Volkswagen Certified Dealer as a Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

That certification is long expired, but it's still a worthwhile piece of the vehicle's history.

GOOD DOCUMENTED MAINTENANCE

The CARFAX shows regular maintenance throughout the Jetta's life.

Early Volkswagen dealer service includes the 20,000-mile and 30,000-mile services, along with oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations and a brake-fluid flush.

At approximately 31,000 miles, the vehicle was prepared for Certified Pre-Owned sale and received:

• Engine and cabin air filters
• Rear brake pads
• Rear brake rotors
• Safety inspection
• Wipers
• Tire inspection

At 63,580 miles, Volkswagen performed the 60,000-mile service.

At 72,499 miles, it received a substantial service including:

• Brake-fluid flush
• Engine and cabin air filters
• Spark plugs
• Oil and filter change
• Tire service and rotation
• Fuel-system inspection

FRONT AND REAR BRAKES REPLACED RECENTLY

One of the stronger recent maintenance items occurred at 99,314 miles.

Christian Brothers Automotive performed a four-wheel alignment, brake-fluid flush, front brake pads and rotors, and rear brake pads and rotors.

That's substantial brake work already behind the car.

A new battery was also installed at 102,951 miles, and the car continued receiving oil services through 2026.

RIDGELINE INSPECTED & SERVICED

Before offering this Jetta for sale, we put it through Ridgeline Automotive, our full-service repair facility and NAPA Auto Care Center.

Our current work order totals $453.01 and includes:

• Complete multipoint safety inspection
• Full module scan
• Road test
• Premium European-spec oil service
• 5W-40 Full Synthetic Euro Oil
• NAPA Gold oil filter
• BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
• BG MOA Advanced Formula
• Oil sensor wiring repair

OIL SENSOR WIRING REPAIRED

During our inspection, we found the oil sensor wire had been cut/damaged.

Rather than leave it that way, we repaired the wiring as part of our current reconditioning process.

We also cleaned and degreased the engine so we could better inspect for leaks and monitor the vehicle during our road-testing process.

PREMIUM EUROPEAN OIL SERVICE

We don't use generic bulk oil in a turbocharged Volkswagen.

This Jetta received:

5W-40 Full Synthetic European Oil NAPA Gold Oil Filter BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration BG MOA Advanced Formula

That's how we prefer to start the next owner out.

FULL RIDGELINE INSPECTION

Our inspection includes the battery and cables, complete vehicle module scan, power accessories, horn, windshield, wipers and washers, instruments and warning indicators, engine startup and idle, road-test drivability, seat belts, exterior lighting, HVAC operation, fluids, windows and mirrors, engine compartment, undercarriage, suspension, axles, fuel system, brake lines, exhaust, tires and brakes.

The current inspection noted the front brakes are in good condition. The rear pads measured approximately 5mm on the left and 7mm on the right, with the left caliper showing some stickiness that we monitored during road testing.

We believe in telling buyers what we actually find rather than pretending every used car is perfect.

WHY WE LIKE THIS JETTA

The 1.8T SEL is a nice step above a basic economy sedan.

You get the stronger 170-horsepower turbo engine, a comfortable highway ride, good fuel economy and the extra equipment that comes with the SEL trim.

And this particular Jetta has a lot going for it:

Clean CARFAX 20 service records Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned history Recent front AND rear brakes Recent four-wheel alignment Recent battery Documented spark-plug service Regular oil-change history Fresh European full-synthetic oil service Ridgeline inspection and road testing

CARFAX's current reliability forecast also rates this Jetta in the “Good Reliability” category and places it in the top 25% compared with similar vehicles in its dataset.
