2000 Volkswagen Polo SE review from UK and Ireland

Rear windscreen wiper seized at around 160000 miles.

3rd gear crunches a little when cold (has been doing it for about 100000 miles though...)

Front tires always scrub really fast, even after tracking is adjusted :o(

Sunroof jammed not long after purchase - was fixed under warranty.

Having read many of the VW polo posts, I feel quite lucky to have my little TDI.

I've had it from new and recently clocked over 170,000 miles on it (270,000 Km), and it's still on the original clutch.

If I pay attention and drive it carefully, I can still get over 65 miles to the gallon from it (UK gallon).

It still starts every morning, even though I've never changed the battery.

Recently the front tires have started to scrub really fast (A pair last about 10,000 miles or 6 months for me!)

I'm thinking all the bushes up front are probably due for replacement now though, as it's starting to clunk a little on rough roads.

It's not an entertaining drive, though it still pulls along nicely on the motorway.

I'll probably keep driving it until something major fails and forces me to get something else.
