2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI DSG Hatchback

Description

Got this car back in 2011 when it was still fresh off the assembly line, and I’ve kept it well looked after since. It’s a 1.2-litre TSI with the DSG automatic gearbox — smooth shift, no fuss. Fully loaded with modern features for the time, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat-nav, Bluetooth, USB, and even a dash cam. The rear camera and parking sensors help when parking, especially in tight spots.

I’ve had it through a few different places — used it in the UK for years, then kept it in Carluke, South Lanarkshire, where I’ve parked it mostly at home. It’s been properly maintained, with a full service history, and I’ve kept track of every service and repair. The mileage is honest and the car still runs well.

It’s got alloy wheels, electric windows all round, power steering, fog lights, and a nice metallic paint finish. The interior’s clean, the seats are in good shape, and there’s a lot of room for the family or a couple. I’ve also got a spare tyre and a kit for fixing a flat — just in case.

I’ve had it registered overseas before, so it’s been through a bit of a journey — but nothing that’s ever affected the core reliability. It’s a solid, no-nonsense hatchback that’s been practical for everyday driving.

The car’s been on the road for over a decade, but still runs fine. I’m not selling it for a quick profit — I’m just passing it on because I’ve moved on to something else. It’s been my go-to for years, and I don’t want to keep it sitting in the garage.

If you're looking for a reliable, feature-packed little hatchback that doesn’t break the bank — this one’s been through the wringer and still holds up.

Price is £6,975 — fair, I think. I’ll be happy to chat about it or show it around if you’re interested.
