How important is regular maintenance for my Volkswagen Polo?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Polo and I'm wondering how important it is to keep up with regular maintenance? Is it necessary for the longevity of the car or is it just a money grab by the dealership?

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your Volkswagen Polo. Neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs down the line.

It's not just a money grab, regular maintenance ensures that your car is running at its best and can prevent larger issues from occurring. Don't skip out on maintenance.

I've had my Volkswagen Polo for over 10 years and I have always kept up with regular maintenance. It's still running smoothly without any major issues.
