Credit Score/Check for PCP

Hi can anyone tell me how good your credit score (hopefully you could tell me in regards to Experian/Equifax) has to be to start a PCP?

I'm looking into a VW Polo, if this helps.

I have good scores but I have a lot of amount of debt:available debt. Would it be helpful (in terms of me getting the car) to put a bigger deposit down?

TIA

    The credit score is irrelevant, it's what it says on your files that matter, the finance will be secured on the car I'd imagine so it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain
