2018-2023 VW Polo (Mk6 / AW)
The Mk6 Polo is the Golf's little sibling and one of the most popular small used cars in Europe, prized by first-time buyers and city drivers for feeling a class above its supermini rivals.
Read the product overview
Built on the same MQB-A0 platform as the Audi A1 and Seat Ibiza, it offers grown-up refinement, a generous boot for the segment, and the same dependable 1.0 TSI three-cylinder petrol that powers half the VW Group range. Used values have proved sticky precisely because the Polo is so easy to recommend, so genuine bargains are rare and clean low-mileage examples carry a real premium. The 2021 facelift brought sharper looks and updated tech but is not worth chasing over a tidy pre-facelift car with full history. Prices on AutoScout24 and mobile.de dip modestly in winter; insurance for younger drivers stays low, which keeps demand firm all year.
