2016 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · CX16 PUF

The Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 77,367 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 18 August 2023 at 63,725 miles listed no defects, indicating a administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day. No worsening or recurring mechanical issues appear across the record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,700 miles, typical for a 2016 car. The record shows 50,857 miles on 28 March 2022, then 63,725 miles by 18 August 2023, a 12,868-mile gain over seventeen months. Coverage thins between 2022 and 2023 with no interim test, but the gap is not extreme. From 2023 to 2025 the car added 13,642 miles across two tests, reflecting consistent private use rather than standing idle or high-intensity driving. The clean MOT history gives no flagged items on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake component wear, as the DVSA test only captures roadside-visible defects at the time. The same-day failure and pass in August 2023 suggest a documentation error, not deferred maintenance by the previous owner. Given the absence of advisories across five tests, prior keepers appear to have kept the vehicle to a basic roadworthy standard without neglected consumables. The low defect count implies no pattern of skipped upkeep. A pre-purchase check should confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition, though these were not raised as concerns in the official record.
