Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for city driving, pa
When inspecting this specific 2013 model, check the condition of the tyres. Although the 2023 MOT noted cracking and wear on multiple tyres, the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests show no defects, suggesting they were replaced. However, it is always worth checking the tread depth and age of the current set.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the suspension arms and headlamp clarity during your physical inspection. While this specific vehicle has a clean recent record, these are common failure points for the Volkswagen Up across the wider fleet. Ensure the service history is available to complement the MOT data.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it ideal for urban environments. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a low insurance group, which is typical for this class of city car.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though you should budget for periodic tyre replacements as evidenced by the 2023 MOT record. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, fall into a modest bracket.
Focus your inspection on the tyres, as the 2023 MOT history specifically highlighted issues with cracking, perishing, and wear on both the nearside rear and offside front/rear. Even though these were cleared in subsequent tests, it is a known area of maintenance for this car.
Additionally, because aggregate data for this model identifies suspension arms and headlamps as top failure reasons, check for any play in the steering or uneven tyre wear, and ensure the headlight lenses are clear and not oxidised.
This 2013 red Volkswagen Up features a 999cc petrol engine and has covered 56,337 miles as of August 2026. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with the most recent three tests recording no defects. While there were tyre-related advisories in 2023, the vehicle has maintained a steady mileage progression that is relatively low for its age.
Aggregate data for the Volkswagen Up shows an 85.3% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
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.
- Ignition Coil / Misfire(Moderate)
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine can suffer from ignition coil failures leading to misfires, rough idling and poor fuel economy. Coils are inexpensive but should be replaced in sets.
