On the hunt for the best-selling VW Polo used?

The VW Polo is celebrated for its remarkable driving comfort and boasts various design awards. AutoUncle provides access to 7,560 available options in the UK, each one sourced from an online marketplace or dealership website.

What is the cost of a pre-owned VW Polo?

Currently, the prices for a pre-owned VW Polo start at £3,995 and go up to £22,580.

There exist five main parameters that have an impact on what a used VW Polo costs: manufacturing year, engine capacity and performance, fuel economy of the car, how many miles the car has travelled not to mention the equipment level of the car.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

What are the available trim levels for the VW Polo?

The most popular equipment variants for the VW Polo are:

  • VW Polo Life: Right now you will find 1,445 cars for sale at an average price of £16,563
  • VW Polo Match: Here you will find 1,419 cars for sale at an average price of £13,793
  • VW Polo SE: 1,150 cars for sale at an average price of £8,734
  • VW Polo R-line: 761 cars for sale at an average price of £17,783
  • VW Polo Edition: 452 cars for sale at an average price of £7,926
  • VW Polo GTI: 452 cars for sale at an average price of £17,370

When comparing the prices of used VW Polo, it is essential that you only compare with the deals of cars with the same equipment variant and engine size. If you don't, you might end up reaching a wrong decision on which car to purchase.

What are the available fuel options for the VW Polo?

The leading fuel choice for the VW Polo is petrol.

Fuel options to choose from:

  • VW Polo petrol: 7,384 cars currently available with an average price of £13,847
  • VW Polo diesel: 176 cars currently available with an average price of £11,232

In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: On average, how many miles do you travel in a week? Do you frequently make short journeys or are your trips generally long?

If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Keep in mind that certain countries have bans on high-emission diesel engines entering their cities.

What body types is the VW Polo available in?

The VW Polo is available in both hatchback and coupe body styles, with the hatchback being the more popular choice. Hatchbacks are excellent compact cars that combine great driving with the flexibility of ample space. They are very popular with people living in cities, as they are typically fuel efficient and easy to park.
