Volkswagen Polo 1.9 GT TDI (130 bhp) PD
An opportunity to purchase quite a rare and very well looked after car…
· Made between 2004 and 2005 only.
· One of only 589 ever made.
· One of 304 left on the road.
· One of 172 Navarra blue ones left (and it’s a 3 door!).
I’m the second owner (first owner being a Doctor – with invoices to back it up). Originally purchased from Chiswick Volkswagen in 2005, then by me on 8th May 2021 in a private sale. The car remains standard mechanically – no boy racer engine modifications and has been maintained incredibly well.
71,510 miles, full comprehensive service history (lots of VW history), factory MS Design Austria (Votex) body kit, 17” VW Borbet Exor alloy wheels (very rare), Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. MOT till August 2024.
Cambelt changed in 2021 at Inchcape Volkswagen, Wirral. Every service invoice, consumables invoices and MOT available in a complete folder for inspection. It’s a quick car that is superb on fuel, tax and insurance.
Below is a full itemised list of work done within the last 18 months to keep this car immaculate:

+ All original parts packaged up neatly in the boot should the new owner wish to swap them back, but I was going for an OEM+ kind of look. This car is twinned with the more common Skoda Fabia VRS and Seat Ibiza Cupra of the time, so lots of parts are interchangeable.
Only downside is that the electric mirrors do not work. I have recently had them replaced with new ones, but believe the problem is with a connector in the drivers side door, which could be fixed with a loom or connector from a donor car.
T&Cs of Viewing - Serious interest only! No boy racers, no groups of more than 2 people, proof of insurance for test drives.
You’ll seriously struggle to find one... then find one similar in this condition, spec and mileage! A proper TDI VW!
Happy to answer any questions on 0785 999 8259.
Many thanks for looking, Jon.
