2012 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · DA62 KTU

The Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 71,002 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the previous four years. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2012-registered car. The record shows 48,418 miles at the October 2021 test, rising to 59,118 by October 2022, then 61,972 in December 2023, 66,972 in December 2024, and 71,002 in November 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between roughly 4,700 and 10,700 miles, with no sharp jumps or standing gaps. The full history contains no advisories, failures, or flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues. A clean five-year MOT run with zero advisories suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current and the car avoided harsh duty. Low average mileage near 5,000 per year can also mean long stationary periods, so a buyer should still confirm in person that brake calipers are not seizing and tyres are not perished from age rather than wear. Given the absence of recorded faults, no recurring mechanical or structural concerns emerge from the data. The buyer should nonetheless arrange a physical inspection of underbody condition, suspension joints, and brake function to verify the test cleanliness holds against real-world age-related degradation.
