What is a 2007 Volkswagen Polo worth? The answer depends on trim level, mileage, condition and regional demand. Test‑drive reports and OEM data show that a 2007 Polo in good shape typically ranges from £2,000 to £3,500 in the UK secondary market, while similar models in continental Europe hover around €3,000 to €4,000. These figures reflect an average price spread of 20‑30 % over the original catalogue price once the vehicle departs from its new‑car condition.

Depreciation Insights: Volkswagen Polo Depreciation Over Time

As a compact car, the Polo follows a typical depreciation pattern for European hatchbacks. Volkswagen Polo depreciation tends to be steady, as the brand’s durability and resale reputation offset the rapid initial decline common to newer cars.

  • First year: New vehicles usually lose 15‑20 % of their value in the first 12 months. For a 2007 Polo that entered the market in 2007, this would be reflected in early trading as a price drop of roughly £600‑£800 from the original €5,500‑€6,500 MSRP.
  • Years 2‑3: Depreciation slows to 5‑10 % per year. A Polo from 2005 that’s been driven at average mileage may currently be worth about 50 % of its original value.
  • Years 4‑5: Vehicles typically lose an additional 20‑30 % of the remaining value. A 2007 Polo now might trade at 30‑35 % of its original price range.
  • Beyond 5 years: Depreciation plateaus; the car is worth around 20 % of its original cost while still keeping manufacturing and replacement parts widely available.

For practical use, a 2007 Volkswagen Polo usually retains 45‑55 % of its depreciation‑free value after five years, which aligns with broader market expectations for dependable, low‑cost European hatchbacks.
