Volkswagen Polo, 2005, Järvenpää

Grey hatchback passenger car offering five seats and a practical five-speed manual gearbox. The petrol engine produces 55 kilowatts, and combined fuel consumption is 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

Inspection valid until April, tow bar and respectable mileage. That sums up the praise. OH! And a spoiler, of course!

This poor Polo has seen its best days, but the latest inspection was lenient and it still has a valid inspection. The tyres consist of three studded winter tyres and one summer tyre. Not a single tyre is roadworthy, and the summer tyre’s tread depth makes it look as though it could be found in a Formula 1 pit garage—and I do not mean the wet-weather tyres.

There is certainly something to comment on with every body panel. The bonnet is bent, the bumper is coming loose, etc. The pictures will say more than words here.

The central locking does not work, the driver’s window does not open, the brakes grind slightly, and the clutch has seen better days. Surprisingly, the suspension seems to be in perfectly good shape!

The service book has received more or less no attention over the years. The service history is partial. According to the previous owner, it was serviced recently, but there are no receipts for this.
