I'm going to view a 1.4 CL Polo for my girlfriend tomorrow and I just want to ask what kind of things I should look out for in this particular car.

It's done 120,000 which yes is quite alot, but its been serviced regularly so I'm just after some advice.

Thanks

 

my girlfriend has the next shape up. X reg, so maybe not the same.but....
on her's make sure all electrics are working fine,elec windows if it has them,gearbox's and tappety engine.

 

had one of these myself a few years back . never had any problems with it

even tho its done that sort of mileage they go foreva they vw engines

the only bad thing is they sometimes rust in funny places add bubbles start mostly on the sill theres a seem like under the door on a 3 door

but it is a t reg so is expected

 

Thanks for the input, anything else ?

 

Great little cars mate, our lass has a 1.4cl golf on an M and my mate has a P plate polo 1.4 cl. Nearly a grand though with 120,000 miles seems a lot though. I'm sure you can get them cheaper than that.

 

My sisters got a '98 R 1.4 CL and it's a nice little car, very nippy. For some reason everytime I drive it, for more than say half an hour, I end up with a sore knee.

Problems to date are; rust in funny places, seized rear wiper, leaking drive shaft seal, rear wheel bearings whining and the aerial fell to bits.

Otherwise it's a good car. If you get it check the pollen filter, as they seem to be overlooked.

 

My missus got exact same type. look out for leccy window motors + central locking also
