Key Features

Condition and History

The seller has provided limited history details for this Polo. What we can confirm is the mileage — 63,000 miles — and that the vehicle was first registered in August 2013. The DVLA registration date is listed as May 2025, and the last V5C (logbook) was issued in February 2026. There is no export marker on the vehicle.

Service history has not been stated in the seller’s details. MOT status and expiry are not provided either. The number of previous owners is not mentioned. If these matter to you — and for most used car buyers they do — it’s worth asking the seller directly before committing. They’ve invited questions, so use that. Ask about service records, any recent MOT advisories, and how many keepers the car has had. None of that has been confirmed here, so we’re not going to guess.

The seller describes the car as offering “great value” at this price point, but beyond that, no specific condition claims have been made about the bodywork, interior, tyres, or mechanical state. That’s not unusual for a classified listing, but it does mean a viewing or at least a detailed conversation is sensible before you part with any money.

Why Consider This Vehicle

The main draw here is the combination of a low asking price and relatively low mileage for a 2013 car. At £2,000 including delivery, it undercuts a lot of comparable Polos on the market. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is a sensible choice for someone who wants something cheap to run without going down the diesel route — it’s well-suited to shorter journeys and everyday driving. Financing is accepted, which opens it up to buyers who’d rather spread the cost than pay upfront, and nationwide delivery means you’re not limited to whatever happens to be local.

About the Volkswagen Polo

The Volkswagen Polo has been a staple of the UK’s small hatchback market for decades. It’s generally regarded as a well-built, dependable car that holds its value reasonably well compared to some rivals. The Polo sits below the Golf in Volkswagen’s range and has always been positioned as a slightly more premium alternative to the likes of the Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa — you tend to pay a bit more for the badge, but many buyers find the interior quality and driving feel justify it.

The fifth-generation Polo (which this 2013 model belongs to) ran from around 2009 to 2017. It’s known for being comfortable on longer trips despite its compact size, and the 1.2-litre petrol engine was a common choice in the UK — it’s economical for city driving and adequate for motorway use, though it won’t set any speed records. Parts are widely available, servicing costs are reasonable, and most independent garages are familiar with them. The Polo is a popular first car, a sensible second car for a household, or a reliable runabout for someone who wants something small but doesn’t want to compromise too much on refinement.

What to Check Before Buying

When looking at any used Polo of this age, there are a few things worth checking. Start with the basics: ask to see the V5C (logbook) and confirm the chassis number matches what’s on the document. An HPI check is always a good idea — it’ll tell you if there’s outstanding finance, if the car has been written off, or if it’s been reported stolen. These checks cost a few pounds online and can save you a lot of grief.

On the car itself, check the service history — ideally you want to see evidence of regular oil changes and servicing. If there’s no history, factor that into your offer. Ask when the MOT was last done and whether there were any advisories. On the Polo specifically, listen for any rattles from the timing chain on start-up (a known issue on some 1.2 engines), and check that the clutch feels smooth if it’s a manual — though this listing doesn’t confirm whether it’s manual or automatic, so ask the seller.

Take it for a test drive if you can. Check for any warning lights on the dash, make sure the brakes feel responsive, and listen for any unusual noises from the suspension over speed bumps. Tyres should have decent tread — at least 3mm is a reasonable minimum, though 1.6mm is the legal limit. Check the condition of the bodywork for any signs of accident repair or rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills.

Ask the seller directly about anything that’s unclear: service history, number of previous owners, MOT expiry, whether there are any known faults. A genuine seller won’t mind these questions. If something feels off or they’re evasive, walk away — there are plenty of other cars out there.
