2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · BK17 FYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 18,974 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of noted advisories in 2025. The transition from multiple technical faults to a clean test sheet suggests that the previous owner has addressed the mechanical and rubber components identified during the earlier testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the record, with only 1,705 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests and 1,766 miles between 2025 and 2026. While low mileage reduces general wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluids due to stationary periods rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system and tyre-related issues. The 2025 test at 17,208 miles flagged fluctuating nearside front brakes, a corroded offside rear brake pipe, and pitted front brake discs. The buyer must verify that the brake pedal remains firm and that the replaced discs and pipes are free of further corrosion or surface scoring. Additionally, the 2024 test noted all four tyres were perishing or cracking. Given the low mileage, the rubber compound is likely reaching its structural limit before the tread depth, so a close check for sidewall cracking is essential.
