2015 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · CK15 PFX

The July 2025 MOT at 58,870 miles resulted in a pass, confirming the Volkswagen Up remains roadworthy, though the repeated service brake binding advisories on both rear wheels indicate a persistent mechanical issue that has not worsened. Mileage has risen from 21,329 miles in May 2018 to 58,870 miles in July 2025, averaging just over 5,300 miles per year, which is low for an eleven‑year‑old vehicle and suggests light usage or extended periods of inactivity; the progression is steady with no sudden jumps in distance. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear service brakes for binding, examine the suspension bushes and ball joints for excessive play, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, assess the offside front tyre cut and overall tyre wear, test the washer system, and look for any structural rust or corrosion, as these items have recurred in multiple tests. The pattern of recurring minor defects rather than major failures points to adequate overall care, but the persistent brake and suspension advisories merit close attention before final purchase.
