Used Volkswagen Polo for Sale in Stoke-on-Trent

About the Volkswagen Polo

The Volkswagen Polo is a supermini hatchback that has been part of the brand's range for decades, and the sixth generation, known as the Mk6, was built from 2009 to 2017 before the facelifted Polo arrived in 2017. The cars on this page date from 2013 to 2018, so they cover the later years of the Mk6 and the updated model that followed. Sitting between the smaller Up and the larger Golf in the range, the Polo offers a practical five-door body with a well-finished interior that feels a class above many rivals.

The petrol engines a used buyer will meet include the 1.4 TSI and 1.2 TSI units, along with the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol options in more basic trims. The GTI is the performance flagship of the line, and the Mk6 GTI used a 1.8 TSI with around 180 horsepower, while the 2.0 TSI version listed here is a more powerful variant with a sportier character. The 1.4 Match is a mainstream trim that suits buyers who want comfort and economy above outright pace. Match trims typically bring useful extras such as upgraded infotainment and climate control.

Owners tend to praise the Polo's refined ride, quality of materials, roomy front seats and sensible running costs, and the GTI versions are admired for their sharp handling and strong acceleration. When looking at a used example, check the service history carefully, since regular servicing matters on turbocharged engines. Look for signs of clutch wear on manual cars, test the DSG gearbox on automatic examples for smooth shifts, and inspect the bodywork and alloy wheels for kerbing damage. A full inspection and test drive will show whether a particular car is right for you.
