2015 VOLKSWAGEN UP1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 66,753 miles resulted in a failure due to thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and a worn offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the data suggests the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach the point of legal failure during an MOT inspection. At approximately eleven years old with 66,753 miles, the car has averaged roughly 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use urban patterns. The mileage progression shows consistent intervals, with a 9,303-mile gap between the September 2023 (46,995 miles) and August 2024 (56,298 miles) tests. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain but can lead to age-related rubber components and seals degrading over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should pay close attention to the steering and suspension assembly, as the 2024 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints. The recurring issues with tyres worn on the inside edges, noted in both 2023 and 2025, suggest a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that are currently causing premature tyre life. Given the 2025 failure regarding brake components, a physical inspection of the front discs and pads is necessary to ensure replacements have not already approached the end of their service life.
