Servicing of polo is every 15k kms, which comes to around 7-8k for petrol.
When you compare it with other cars in the same league which require service thrice a month, the service cost is not much and pretty justified.
Let me compare Brio and Polo for you:
Petrol: Both polo and Brio would perform equally well. I have driven both. I own Polo Btw.
For your Dad: Both will make your Dad feel young. The added advantage is with Polo with classic design
10+ years: Polo wins here undoubtedly. Not to say that Hondas don't last but when both are compared, Polo would last longer
Service cost: Brio might win with a thin margin, though both are comparable. Polo might lose here due to costly spare parts and Honda is more reliable than VW.
In Polo, at least on TAI, many owners have reported a few issues here and there, but no issues with Brio reported.
Safety: Brio wins here. Polo base model in your budget would lack many features, in fact it would be just a plane jane car. No stereo, alloys, seat height adjustment, airbags, ABS. In your case, I would give highest weight to safety.
There are positives and negatives with both of them.
But if I was you, I would have zeroed down on Brio- just for safety features.

My mom and dad love the polo and wants to buy that(the loud thud and solid interiors make you feel really special) but I think brio with safety at 5.5 lakhs is unbeatable. The Polo highline will cost atleast a lakh more I think.They dont care for safety
