£1,299 View MoreVolkswagen Polo 1.2 Hatchback – 2009 (59 Reg) – Manual – Long MOT – Great Runner
Selling my VW Polo 1.2 (2009, RV59 CPO). Bought it about a month ago just to get through my driving test, which I’ve now passed, so time to let it go. It’s been a great little car – drives nicely, cheap to run and insure, and has been totally reliable while I’ve had it. Perfect for new drivers or anyone after an economical run-around. Details: - 1.2L Petrol (1198cc) - Manual gearbox - 5 doors - Very long MOT until 21 July 2026 - Road tax paid until 1 April 2026 - Mileage: 103,330 - Registration: RV59 CPO Overall in very good condition for its age. The bodywork is clean with a few small scratches at the back — nothing major or unexpected for a 2009 car. Interior is tidy and everything works as it should. It starts first time, runs smoothly, and feels solid on the road. The gearbox is a little slack, and it can be a bit awkward getting it into 5th gear sometimes. I’ve had it checked, and it’s likely just a gear linkage adjustment or stretched cable, which is a fairly easy fix. £950 or nearest offer – fair price given the long MOT and overall good condition.
