2018 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · ER05 JER

The 2018 Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 48,735 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across five consecutive annual examinations. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,100 miles, typical for an eight-year-old city car. The records show steady, low accumulation: 27,770 miles in January 2022, 30,775 by December 2022, 37,262 in November 2023, 43,151 in November 2024, and 48,735 in December 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The sparse, fault-free history gives no indication of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low-use cars left standing can develop perished suspension bushes, corroded brake discs, or seized calipers that a pass without advisories will not reveal. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and confirm tyre sidewalls are not cracked from age rather than wear. Given the record shows no recurring advisories on exhaust emissions, steering, or suspension, prior owners likely kept basic upkeep current. The absence of flagged faults across four years suggests careful, light domestic use rather than deferred maintenance.
