The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TDI CR DPF 75 EU5 MATCH EDITION is a small, five-door diesel hatchback in the UK’s supermini class. It offers more everyday space than a city car, while remaining easy to park and manoeuvre. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,952 checks across 791 different VINs, a substantial sample that gives buyers useful market context. Typically, it suits commuters and regular longer-distance drivers who want a practical, economical runabout, and can also work for first-time drivers or small households needing rear doors and usable boot space. The 1.2-litre diesel is designed to sip fuel on everyday journeys; the Match Edition adds a useful equipment-focused appeal, making this Polo feel more complete than a basic entry-level supermini. Check data averages 90,000 miles, 8,000 annually, three previous keepers and £3,800 private-sale value; it rivals the Ford Fiesta with comfort, economy and sensible size in its class today overall.
