2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · AY63 XRH

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in July 2025 at 68,329 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes over the preceding three years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical or structural failures during recent inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,256 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, with 857 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 3,191 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low annual mileage suggests limited wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between services. A buyer should pay specific attention to the minor offside rear service brake binding noted during the June 2021 test at 53,709 miles. While this issue appears to have been resolved, a physical inspection of the rear brake caliper and sliding pins is advisable to ensure no new corrosion or sticking has returned. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for dry rot on tyres and perished suspension bushings, as these materials often fail due to age rather than mileage on low-use vehicles.
