Volkswagen Polo 2005 Manual 5-door Hatchback

Description

Got this old Polo in Ferryhill, County Durham, and honestly, it’s been a real keeper. Only ever had one owner, and it’s been properly looked after over the years. I’ve had it through a few service checks, and it’s got more than 14 service stamps — not a lot of fancy bits, but every major job’s been done. Timing belt and water pump replaced twice — once at 30k, again at 59k — plus a new alternator and belt. All the receipts are still in the box, so I can prove it.

It’s not flashy — no dings, just a few scratches and scuffs, like it’s been parked in a garage most of the time. It runs perfectly, though it does make a little noise when you start it, which is the only thing I’d say’s a bit odd. But once it’s warmed up, it’s smooth as silk. No rust at all, which is a big plus for a car this old.

It’s not a modern car, but it’s super reliable and super economical. For someone looking for a simple, low-maintenance car that doesn’t break the bank — especially if they’re new to driving — this one’s a solid choice.

It’s actually not as expensive as it seems — the price is way below what you’d expect for a 2005 Polo with this history. I’ve had it for years, and I’m happy to let it go with a test drive or inspection if you’re interested. No pressure, just a real honest, well-used car with a good track record.
