2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · RK17 ADU

The 2017 Volkswagen Up is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 recorded a pass with no defects at 40 957 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a cluster of failures in 2022‑2024. Headlamp aim problems appeared in March 2024 and March 2025 but were corrected by the October 2025 test, while earlier tyre and wiper issues have not reappeared. The vehicle’s recent clean bill of health indicates that the identified faults have been addressed and the car is now in a stable condition. Mileage accumulation has been low for a six‑year‑old model, averaging roughly 4 500 miles per year. The log shows a steady rise from 19 287 miles in March 2020 to 40 957 miles in October 2025, with a notable jump of 6 436 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. MOT tests have been performed annually around the same dates, providing a consistent inspection schedule, and the most recent test falls within the nine‑month window before the current date of 30 July 2026. A buyer should inspect the headlamp aim adjustment to confirm it meets the 4.1.2 (a) standards, examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing noted in March 2023, and check the rear tyres for any cracking or damage as recorded in 2022. The wiper blades must be tested for effective clearing, and the rear child‑seat installation should allow full inspection of the adult belt. Suspension bushes and brake components should be examined for wear or corrosion, and the underbody inspected for rust, given the vehicle’s age and low‑mileage usage pattern.
