2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · BJ67 AEK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 09 December 2025 at 25,977 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has remained in a condition that meets all minimum safety requirements without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,886 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 13,525 miles and the 2025 test at 25,977 miles, the car covered 12,452 miles over three years, suggesting short-distance commuting or long periods of inactivity. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can sometimes lead to age-related perish of rubber parts or brake corrosion if the car is not driven regularly at varying speeds. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as the tread depth may be legal while the rubber has aged. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for signs of drying or cracking, as these materials degrade over time regardless of the low annual mileage recorded.
