The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2005-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 TDI 100 SPORT is a small, three-door diesel hatchback, offering a more powerful choice in the popular supermini class. It suits narrow streets and tight parking while providing more room and comfort than many city cars. In the UK, it competes with Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Mycarcheck.com records 311 checks covering 124 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this older Polo. Checks show an average private-sale value of £1,400, average recorded mileage of 137,000 miles and annual use of 7,000 miles. The typical car has had almost six previous keepers, so condition and history deserve careful attention. The 1.9-litre diesel’s strong pull and thrift make it appealing for commuting and longer journeys, while Sport trim gives this Polo a livelier feel. It is best for singles, couples or first-time buyers wanting an economical, easy-to-place hatchback, not a spacious family car.
