2001 Polo SE 1.4 TDI – AMF engine – £650
136,430 miles (will go up as I use it)
MOT until 07/07/21
Located in Monmouth, SE Wales
Up for sale, my daily driver that I’ve used to commute to work for the last 5 years, has been really reliable and economical, never broken down on me or failed to start. Solid engine and gearbox – uses no oil or water. Incredibly good on fuel, it consistently averages 60 MPG, with more on a run and is surprisingly nippy for what it is. £30 tax per year, insurance group 13, so cheap to run. Just been serviced by myself with oil and filter (always done every 10,000 miles), air filter replaced at last oil service. Timing belt done on the 17/07/17 by my local garage along with water pump, tensioner, vibration damper, pulleys, etc.
At or near the asking price there are various bits I’m happy to pass on with the car: a pair of genuine VW locking roof bars, Haynes manual, spare alloy wheel (needs a refurb) and some new spare parts (front pads, etc.). Genuinely sad to see the car go but my circumstances have changed.
Original equipment:
• Remote central locking with alarm (one key)
• Front fogs
• Electric tilt and slide sunroof
• Rear discs
• Front electric windows
• Electric mirrors.
Modifications:
• Cruise control (done with genuine VW parts)
• GTI full leather interior with heated seats
• GTI Xenon lights
• GTI upper grille
• GTI front splitter
• 30mm Eibach Pro lowering springs
Bad bits:
• Category D write off (lowest level) due to damaged drivers side doors – these were repaired and the car returned to the road before I bought it. The repair to the front door isn’t perfect.
• Rust starting to show on front drivers arch
• MOT advisory for discs and pads, gets the same advisory for discs every year, they’ve plenty of life left in them. Rear pads still look decent to me and I’ll include new Bosch pads for the front.
• MOT advisory on three tyres, all still legal
