Description

This 2012 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 Match is a well-preserved, easy-to-live-with hatch that delivers a calm, economical drive. The lightweight 1.2 petrol engine and manual gearbox make it responsive in town and relaxed on the motorway, returning excellent fuel economy while remaining predictable and composed. With low mileage and a smooth ride, it’s ideal for daily commuting and longer trips alike.

Practicality is a strong point: five doors, a versatile luggage area with a variable load floor and split-folding rear seats make packaging everyday errands simple. The car arrives with a comprehensive service history, a current MOT, two keys and reassuring dealer checks for peace of mind.
