Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the low mileage; ensure the wear on the steering wheel, pedals, and seat bolsters is consistent with the 23,237 miles recorded. Because the car has been driven so little, check that the battery is healthy and that all electronic components function correctly, as long periods of inactivity can sometimes affect them.
While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, always verify the physical service history to confirm oil changes have been performed regularly despite the low usage. Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance, particularly regarding fluids and tyres, as rubber components can age even if they aren't heavily worn from driving.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an economical choice for urban driving. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a low insurance group, which is typical for this class of city car.
Maintenance costs for a Volkswagen Up are generally manageable, though you should budget for standard consumables. Given the low annual mileage, your annual expenditure will likely be lower than average, primarily driven by the cost of insurance, road tax, and periodic servicing.
Although this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record with no failures, model aggregate data for the Volkswagen Up indicates that tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps are common failure points. It is worth checking the tread depth on all four tyres and inspecting the suspension components for any signs of play or wear.
Additionally, check the operation of the headlamps to ensure they are aligned and functioning correctly. Since the MOT history shows no defects, pay close attention to the condition of the braking system and any potential leaks, as these are standard areas of interest for any used vehicle inspection.
This 2014 white Volkswagen Up features exceptionally low mileage, having covered just 23,237 miles in approximately 12 years. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes since 2022 and no recorded defects or advisories in any of those tests. Given the model's average annual mileage is 5,307, this specific vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical 999cc petrol variant.
The Volkswagen Up shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.3% across 125,710 analysed vehicles.

Common Problems: VOLKSWAGEN UP
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- ASG Automated Gearbox Issues(Moderate)
The automated manual gearbox (ASG) is jerky in traffic, slow to engage drive, and prone to clutch actuator failures. The manual gearbox is far more reliable.
