Vehicle details

Smart, economical and exceptionally well-equipped, this Polo 1.0 is a great choice for anyone who wants a compact car that feels more grown-up than its size suggests. The responsive 93.7 bhp turbo engine balances sprightly performance with impressive economy, returning around 54.3 mpg on a combined run and emitting a modest 118 g/km of CO2, so running costs and environmental impact are kept low. Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully laid out with modern connectivity including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus Bluetooth, making hands-free calls, music and navigation effortless. Practical touches such as air conditioning, cruise control and electric windows and mirrors add everyday comfort, while central locking and traction control give confidence in varied conditions. Parking sensors and alloy wheels contribute to both convenience and style, turning tight spaces into no-fuss maneuvers and giving the exterior a smart, finished look. With just one previous keeper, the history is straightforward and the car has been looked after, presenting well for its age and mileage. Whether it's busy urban commutes, weekend errands or longer motorway stints, this vehicle blends usable technology, tidy running costs and a pleasant driving experience into a compact, versatile package that suits a wide range of lifestyles.

What's the difference between Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)?

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.

You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.

Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.

HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

PCP is a finance plan where you make equal monthly payments over an agreed term, with a larger final repayment due at the end if you decide to keep the car.

At the end of the agreement, you have three options. You can hand the car back to the finance company (the must be in good condition and within the agreed mileage, otherwise charges may apply), part exchange it for another car on a new agreement (subject to status), or pay the final repayment to own the car.

PCP could be right for you if you're thinking of changing your car in the next few years, or if you're unsure whether you want to buy the car at the end of the agreement.

Category write-offs

A vehicle that has been in an accident will be assessed by insurance companies and assigned a category: A, B, S or N. However, we only list Cat S or N cars as Cat A and B cars are not roadworthy and safe.

Category S (formerly Category C)

The 'S' in Cat S stands for structural damage. This means the vehicle has damage to its structure/chassis, which is more than just cosmetic damage. But the vehicle can be professionally repaired, making it safe and roadworthy.

Category N (formerly Category D)

Similarly, the 'N' in Cat N stands for non-structural damage. Here, the vehicle has sustained damage, but it has not affected the structure/chassis. A Cat N car is safe to drive as the damage could be minimal/cosmetic.

Buying a written-off vehicle:

Do a full vehicle history check to identify category vehicles.
Make sure to check with the dealer if a Cat S/N vehicle has been professionally repaired.
Book a vehicle inspection and our experts will look over a Category vehicle for you.
