2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FG64 KCJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. Although the most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 65,043 miles resulted in a failure due to a compromised nearside anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, the defect was rectified immediately to allow for a pass on the same day. Between 2022 and 2024, the vehicle maintained clean records, suggesting that the previous owner generally addressed mechanical requirements promptly. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,420 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between the August 2022 test at 51,375 miles and the July 2025 test at 65,043 miles, covering roughly 13,600 miles over three years. This short-distance driving pattern typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals due to lack of use. A buyer conducting a physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry to ensure the anti-roll bar linkage repair was not an isolated incident in a wider pattern of wear. Check the rubber bushes and ball joint boots for cracking or tearing, which is common on older vehicles with low annual mileage. Given the age of the car, also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop significant surface rust despite low mileage readings.
