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.

- Touchscreen infotainment system
- DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (on newer trims)
- Air conditioning

FAQs
No. Carsa does not sell Category write-off vehicles. Every car we sell goes through an official Auto Trader Provenance Check, which confirms there's no outstanding finance, theft or write-off history, and verifies the mileage is accurate.
The V5C logbook is sent to you directly by the DVLA after we register the car in your name. You'll usually receive it within 4 weeks.
You don't need the V5C to drive or tax your car in the meantime. If it's been more than 4 weeks and you haven't received it, contact the DVLA directly.
If you can't make your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reschedule or cancel it for you.
If you don't turn up, your reservation fee won't be refunded. The fee is only refunded when you attend your appointment.
To change or cancel your appointment, please get in touch via our contact page.
When a car shows as 'in preparation', it means it's still going through our checks and reconditioning process. During this time, the car can't be reserved or booked for a test drive.
We would recommend leaving an enquiry on the car's page. This will ensure you are notified when the vehicle is ready.
Cars come with a manufacturer warranty when new, usually lasting a set number of years or miles. How much cover is left will depend on the car’s age, mileage and the manufacturer’s terms, so we can’t guarantee this for every vehicle. The best way to confirm the exact cover is to check directly with the manufacturer.
If you’d like extra cover, we have warranty products available at the time of purchase.
A lot of our vehicles do come with two keys, but we can only guarantee that each car has at least one. If the car has two keys, we’ll provide both.Because keys can occasionally be misplaced or damaged during transport or preparation, we can only confirm the exact number at the point of test drive. To secure your car for a test drive, simply find it on our website and book with a refundable deposit.
All electric cars use manufacturer-made batteries that are designed to last many years. Modern electric car batteries are carefully managed with cooling systems and safety margins, so they usually last for the lifetime of the car. We don’t provide battery health reports ourselves, so for the most up-to-date details on battery health or warranty cover, please check directly with the manufacturer.
You’ll need to bring your driving licence. If you’re part exchanging, please also bring your V5, service documents, and spare key. If you’re part exchanging and have a private plate, please refer to this FAQ about part exchanging with a private plate
