2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · RK17 AAV

The 2026‑02‑26 MOT at 34,042 miles confirms the Volkswagen Up is presently roadworthy, with the tester recording zero defects. All preceding tests from February 2023 through February 2025 also showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no worsening mechanical issues. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual average of roughly 3,800 miles, well below the typical 7,500‑mile figure for a 2017 model, suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 19,921 miles in February 2023 to 34,042 miles by February 2026, a gain of 14,121 miles over three years, with incremental increases of 5,241 miles in 2023‑24, 4,580 miles in 2024‑25 and 4,295 miles in the most recent year, indicating a steady but not rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for any signs of corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s age and low annual mileage. Finally, confirm that the recent pass included a full emissions test and that no prior advisories were logged, while also checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and fluid levels, as these consumables may have been neglected despite the clean MOT record.
