2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · CU63 FLH

The 2013 Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 39,671 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a duplicate test entry in August 2023. The recorded mileage of 39,671 against a 13-year-old car equates to roughly 3,052 miles per year, marking it as exceptionally low use for its age. The annual tests show steady, light accumulation: 30,298 miles in August 2022, 33,102 in August 2023, 36,119 in August 2024, and 39,671 in August 2025. The only anomaly is the 10 August 2023 entry, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating a DVSA administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Such sparse, clean records suggest the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it to a basic annual test standard without flagged wear. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on structural members and suspension bushes, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop hidden rust while rubber components degrade through time rather than use. The brake discs and calipers warrant a check for binding or pitting from intermittent operation. Given the absence of any advisories across five tests, no recurring mechanical faults or consumable neglect appear in the record. The clean history implies conscientious but minimal upkeep, so a pre-purchase inspection should focus on tyre sidewall condition and wiper blade perish, not structural failure.
