2021 Volkswagen E-UP Electric · BN71 YMC

The most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 recorded a pass at 13,663 miles, with the only advisory being slight damage and cracking on both rear tyres (near‑side and off‑side). The earlier test on 11 November 2024 passed without comment. With no recurring mechanical failures and a single tyre advisory, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 8,500 miles at the 2024 test to 13,663 miles at the 2025 test, an increase of roughly 5,200 miles over twelve months. For a 2021 model this equates to about 2,600 miles per year, well below the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting light use or periods of inactivity. No abrupt spikes or gaps in the record are evident, reinforcing the impression of gentle wear. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear tyre condition, confirming that the observed cracking has not progressed and that tread depth remains within legal limits. Visual inspection of the wheel rims for corrosion, and a brief check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of wear, will verify that no underlying structural issues accompany the tyre advisory. Although the MOT history shows no brake or exhaust concerns, a quick functional test of the braking system and a look for any exhaust leaks will provide additional reassurance before purchase.
