The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2009-14) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 12V 70 EU5 MODA is a compact three-door city hatchback for drivers wanting an easy-to-place small car, not a large family vehicle. It sits in the UK supermini class alongside the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, with understated styling and a sensible reputation. Mycarcheck.com records show 430 checks across 206 distinct VINs, a useful sample of checked examples. Average private-sale valuation was £3,300, with average recorded mileage of 98,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000. The checks indicate about four previous keepers on average, making condition and service history important when comparing cars. The 1.2-litre petrol engine suits town trips and commuting, appealing to newer drivers seeking straightforward controls and manageable costs. Three doors make rear access less convenient for families. Compared with rivals, the Polo is known for a grown-up feel; this 70PS version is best for relaxed driving, not motorway travel.
