VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2009-14) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 12V 70 EU5 R LINE STYLE

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2009-14) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 12V 70 EU5 R LINE STYLE is a small, three-door petrol hatchback, suited to UK streets, parking spaces and errands. The Polo sits among the country’s best-known superminis: more substantial in feel than many city cars, yet compact and easy to live with.

With a 70hp 1.2-litre engine, it is best for town driving, commuting and shorter trips rather than frequent fast-motorway journeys. Its three-door layout and R Line Style trim give it a sportier look than a Polo, while the controls, cabin and running costs suit first-time drivers and couples.

Mycarcheck.com’s 43 look-ups covered 15 distinct VINs, a snapshot rather than a large survey. They show average mileage of 74,000, annual use of 7,000 miles, a £4,900 private-sale value and about three previous keepers. Against Fiesta and Corsa rivals, the Polo is known for its polished feel and everyday appeal.
