The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2005-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 75 S is a small, three-door petrol hatchback, built for everyday UK driving. It sits among popular superminis: easier to park and run than a larger family car, while feeling more substantial than many basic city cars. Its tidy, familiar styling suits town life.

These records show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200 and latest recorded mileage of 105,000 miles; average annual use is 6,000 miles.
