2020 Volkswagen E-UP Electricity · SB70 EXD

This 2020 Volkswagen e-UP passed its most recent MOT on 19 December 2025 with no defects recorded. The vehicle has now covered 17,187 miles over roughly six years of ownership, which works out to an average of 2,864 miles per year. This is notably low mileage for a car of this age. The MOT record is clean across all three available tests. December 2024 showed 13,550 miles with a pass and no issues, and December 2023 showed 9,911 miles, also passed without defects. There is no evidence of a worsening trend in the inspection history; the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record with no advisories or defects flagged at any stage. The low annual mileage raises two separate considerations. On the positive side, fewer miles typically means less wear on brakes, suspension components, and the drivetrain. On the other hand, a vehicle that sits unused for long periods can develop different problems—battery degradation in electric models, tyre perishing, fluid deterioration, and corrosion in areas prone to moisture. For an electric vehicle in particular, prolonged standing and infrequent use can affect battery health and charging performance, even if the MOT record remains clear.
