2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FV14 AAO

The 2025‑10‑03 MOT at 49,591 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 38,024 miles in the October 2022 test to 49,591 miles by October 2025, averaging 4,133 miles per year, which is low for a 12‑year‑old model; the largest annual increase of 6,484 miles occurred between October 2022 and October 2023, after which the growth rate moderated, and the consecutive clean tests suggest consistent usage and upkeep. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or excessive play, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and scrutinise the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for structural rust or corrosion that can develop during prolonged periods of inactivity. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the low mileage may conceal seized components or moisture‑induced corrosion, making a thorough pre‑purchase mechanical inspection essential to verify the condition of critical components.
