Volkswagen Polo 1997 reliability and quality

Production year from 1997 to 2000

Unfortunately, the most recent inspection data for this Volkswagen Polo is more than 10 years old, but at that time reliability was good.

During regular inspections from 2004 to 2012 in average failures were found for approximately 13.8 percents of Volkswagen Polo.
The most recent data available is for 2012, when the average defect rate for a 15-year-old Volkswagen Polo was 22.4 percent, the average for a car that age was 26.8 percent. Thus, in terms of reliability, Volkswagen Polo proved to be more reliable than 75% of the other cars tested.

A good used Volkswagen Polo could be a bargain - despite its relatively high reliability, it is around 40% cheaper than the average estate cars of a similar age.
