The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2005-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 TDI 100 SPORT is a compact five-door supermini: easy to park in town, yet practical enough for everyday journeys. In the UK used-car market it sits among familiar small hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, with Volkswagen’s understated, solid-feeling appeal. The 100-horsepower diesel gives this Polo useful pulling power for commuting and longer motorway trips, while its five doors make access easier for passengers and child seats. It suits commuters, couples and first-time buyers wanting a manageable car with more flexibility than a tiny city car; the Sport trim adds a more purposeful character. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 329 checks across 175 different VINs. Checked examples average £1,300, 128,000 miles and 6,000 miles a year, with about four previous keepers. These figures describe checked cars, not a guarantee; condition and service history matter greatly when assessing an older diesel Polo today.
