Why the Volkswagen Polo is a brilliant used buy
Driving Experience
The Polo delivers a smooth and confident drive. It feels solid and well-planted, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on the motorway. Engine options range from economical 1.0-litre petrols to punchy turbocharged variants and even sporty GTI models.
Thanks to its comfortable ride, excellent visibility and light controls, the Polo is easy to drive and relaxing to live with – perfect for newer drivers or those seeking hassle-free commuting.
Interior Comfort and Practicality
Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the Polo’s upmarket feel. High-quality materials, a simple dashboard layout and smart design touches make it feel like a smaller version of the Golf. The seats are supportive, the driving position is adjustable, and there’s a surprising amount of room for a car in this class.
The five-door layout is ideal for families or shared driving, and the boot offers a generous 351 litres – more than enough for weekly shops or weekend bags.

The Polo is packed with tech, even in earlier models. Features often include:
- Touchscreen infotainment system
- DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (on newer trims)
- Air conditioning
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Cruise control and driver assistance features
Higher trims bring digital displays, rear cameras, automatic headlights and rain sensors.

FAQs
Even if the car is in a zero road tax band, you still need to register it as taxed each year. The process is the same, but you won’t be charged anything. So you’ll need to go online or to the Post Office and 'tax' it (it will show a £0 fee). It’s important to do that so the car is officially recorded as taxed.
Our technicians are highly qualified and experienced. They are trained professionals who specialise in inspecting and preparing used cars to a high standard. Every car undergoes a rigorous inspection by our technicians, who have lots of experience in the motor trade. In short, you can trust that knowledgeable, certified mechanics have checked over and serviced your car before sale.
No, we don’t offer GAP insurance. You would need to arrange GAP insurance separately if you want it.
Yes. We we partner with HiQ to provide servicing, so you can absolutely book your car in with us for routine servicing. Just visit our Carsa Service website or call the service centre, and you can schedule a service appointment at a location that’s convenient for you. We’ll be happy to continue taking care of your car’s maintenance.
The V5C logbook is sent to you by the DVLA after purchase. It usually takes a few weeks; typically you can expect it within up to 6-12 weeks by mail.
We’ll provide the service history documents to you when you get the car. If it’s digital, we’ll give you a printout or email, and if the car has a service booklet, that will be in the car’s documents pack. Essentially, at the point of handover (collection or delivery), we’ll hand you any service records or tell you how to access them. So you’ll have the history in hand right away.
It depends on the car’s recommended schedule. Typically, cars should be serviced once a year or roughly every 10,000-12,000 miles (whichever comes first). If we’ve just serviced the car before delivery, your next service would likely be due in about a year from that service date. We’ll let you know the last service date and any upcoming due dates when you purchase the car.
If the car just had an MOT done as part of our prep, then your next MOT is due one year from that date. If it’s a nearly-new car under 3 years old that hasn’t needed an MOT yet, then its first MOT will be due when it turns 3 years old. We’ll let you know the MOT status and date when you buy the car, so you’ll know when to plan for the next one.
