The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2000-02) 4DR SALOON 1.4 E is a four-door petrol saloon from Volkswagen’s Polo range, with a separate boot rather than the hatchback layout more familiar to UK buyers. It sits in the small-car market, and its dimensions make it easier to park and manage around town. With a 1.4-litre engine and E trim, it suits commuting, errands and drivers seeking practical transport, including first-time buyers. The saloon boot is handy for shopping or luggage, while its manageable size and controls can make everyday driving less daunting than in a larger car. mycarcheck.com checks offer a small sample: six look-ups covered five VINs, so treat the figures as a guide. Average value was £300, mileage 97,000 and annual use 6,000 miles, with 3.5 previous keepers. Against Polo hatchbacks and rivals including the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, the saloon stands out for its separate, boot-focused shape.
