2021 Volkswagen UP Black Edition 1.0L Petrol · YD71 AEY

The Volkswagen Up Black Edition presents as roadworthy following its most recent test. The tester passed the car on 16 September 2025 at 9,852 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with two consecutive clean passes and no advisories across the available history. The recorded mileage of 9,852 at the September 2025 test shows roughly 1,970 miles covered per year since the 2021 registration, confirming very light use for its age. The September 2024 pass at 8,229 miles and the 2025 figure demonstrate steady, low annual accumulation with no sudden gaps or spikes. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, showing only a failed test on 15 September 2025 at 9,851 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by the pass one day later, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's low mileage and likely periods of standing. Damp storage or infrequent movement can allow coil springs and brake calipers to seize without showing on a pass certificate. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the car from checks on tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions at point of sale.
