Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 78,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
2016 Polos are small hatchbacks commonly fitted with 1.0‑litre petrol engines; automatic versions of this year often use VW's dual‑clutch (DSG) gearbox. Confirm which petrol engine is fitted (MPI vs TSI) because service needs and torque differ; DSG gearboxes need periodic oil/filter changes and mechatronic repairs can be costly, which can push running costs and insurance slightly higher than a manual.
- DSG/automatic service history — evidence of gearbox oil/filter changes and any mechatronic work
- Smoothness of gear changes cold and hot; watch for judder on pull‑away or hesitation under load
- Engine oil level and signs of regular top‑ups (some small petrol TSI engines can run through oil)
- Underbody and wheel‑arch corrosion, especially rear arches and sill seams on a 10‑year car
- Tyre age and wear pattern plus front suspension/steering for knocks or uneven wear
