2016 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · EO66 LHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance. Following a clean pass in October 2024, the car failed its test in September 2025 at 54,058 miles due to multiple defects. While it passed a retest three days later at 54,175 miles, the persistence of several advisories regarding tyres and wheels suggests that the owner is only addressing the minimum requirements for legal compliance rather than performing preventative care. At 54,175 miles, the Volkswagen Up shows low mileage relative to its age, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage usually reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles. This slow accumulation explains the perishing and cracking noted on all four tyres recently, an issue typical of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre set, as the September 2025 record flagged perishing and damage across the entire set. The offside front road wheel was also noted as slightly distorted, which can cause vibrations at higher speeds and indicates a previous hard impact. Furthermore, the brake history shows a trend of worn discs and pads dating back to 2022 and 2023. You should verify the current remaining life of the brake components and ensure they are not nearing the end of their service interval, as the low mileage has not prevented the oxidation of these parts.
