The interior rattles are an issue for me, but really only started when I put in lower springs and changed the engine mount bush.
If you are planning on keeping the Polo as is, I would not be too concerned. Best to get one with some warranty left (most of them will) for peace of mind.
If you are looking at doing some work to it (handling or power), might be worth a ride in someone elses Pog, to get a feel for where you can go and what you can expect.
best of luck.
