Six generations of the little motor have existed in that time, with the current sixth-gen model first sold in 2017.
That means the very stylish fifth-gen Polo, which was sold from 2009 until 2017, can now be found at a bargain price second hand.

It was recently revealed, by the CEO of VW, no less, that the Polo could be on the market until the end of this decade.
The Polo was set to become obsolete after the initial proposals of the Euro Seven emission regulations, which were supposed to be introduced this year.
However, the tight emission rules proposed in the EU7 regulations were diminished after receiving widespread criticism from the auto industry.

Carmakers were worried about the cost of compliance and added development they would have to incur to make their motors keep selling.
Schäfer told the revised emission rules, dubbed EU6e, are not as "not as crazy it was posited initially" and "Polo will carry on".
