2019 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · G13 SBG

The 2026‑06‑30 MOT shows the vehicle is not fully roadworthy, as the latest failure record flags a mis‑aimed near‑side front headlamp and a perishing near‑side rear tyre, while the preceding pass merely noted the tyre wear as an advisory. Repeated headlamp aim faults in 2025 and 2026 and the tyre defect indicate an ongoing, worsening trend rather than a stable or improving maintenance record. Mileage has climbed from 16,972 miles in May 2022 to 39,531 miles by June 2026, a rise of roughly 22,559 miles over five years, or about 5,600 miles per year, which is moderate for a seven‑year‑old Volkswagen up. No large mileage jumps or long periods of inactivity are evident; each annual test reflects a steady increase, suggesting regular use and consistent upkeep. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear that could cause the tyre cracking and the headlamp mis‑aim, examine the front and rear brake calipers for binding, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, as well as the current state of the tyre tread and any recent replacement history.
