No two instrument clusters are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
Both fall within the Polo Mk5 generation (2009–2017), but Volkswagen facelifted the Mk5 in 2014, which can bring changes to dashboard electronics, display layouts, and cluster connections. The year boundary here is significant enough that you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific cluster from a post-2014 car matches your pre-facelift 2012 registration before buying.
For the Polo, engine type does not determine instrument cluster compatibility — the cluster is an interior part that matches by generation and trim rather than by what is under the bonnet. You can disregard whether a donor car was a 1.0, 1.2, or 1.4 when sourcing the cluster, though you should still match the generation and trim level.
No — the Polo Mk4 (2001–2009) and Mk5 (2009–2017) are entirely different generations with different dashboard architectures, wiring looms, and connector types. You must source a cluster from the correct generation to have any realistic chance of fitment.
Trim level can matter for the Polo because different trims sometimes have different instrument cluster displays, particularly where higher trims include features such as a multifunction display or trip computer that lower trims omit. Match, S, SE, and R-Line clusters may differ in this way, so it is worth confirming with the breaker that the donor car's trim level is equivalent to yours before purchasing.
Door count does not affect instrument cluster compatibility — the cluster is part of the dashboard, not the body, so a 3-door and 5-door Polo of the same generation and trim will use the same unit. Focus your matching on generation and trim level rather than body style.
These two cars are from different generations: the 2016 Polo is a Mk5 (2009–2017), while the 2018 Polo belongs to the Mk6 generation (2017 onwards), which has a significantly updated interior and electronics architecture. A Mk5 cluster will not be a straightforward fit for a Mk6 Polo, so make sure any donor car your breaker quotes you is from the correct Mk6 generation.
