VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2005-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 55 S
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2005-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 55 S is a small, three-door petrol hatchback and a city car rather than a family-sized model. It suits urban streets and tight parking, while its Volkswagen badge and simple layout give it appeal in the UK used-car market.
mycarcheck.com checks recorded 1,527 look-ups across 783 VINs, a substantial sample. They indicate an average private-sale valuation of £1,100 and average recorded mileage of 96,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 6,000; vehicles have just over four previous keepers, with records dating back to February 2021.
The 1.2 55 S suits first-time drivers, singles, couples and commuters wanting affordable everyday transport around town and on short trips; its three-door body is less convenient for rear-seat access. Against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, the Polo is known for a solid feel and composed driving. This modest, practical hatchback remains a sensible used choice.
