2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FG64 KCN

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable pass record, though recurring issues with tyre condition persist. The most recent test in July 2025 at 51,740 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for cuts on a non-serviceable tyre. While the mechanical and structural components have passed without without scrutiny, the history indicates a consistent pattern of neglecting rubber components, which are only addressed once they reach failure or advisory thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with a 3,166-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 5,628-mile interval in 2023. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary are often prone to age-related degradation of rubber seals and fluid oxidation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as records from 2022, 2024, and 2025 repeatedly highlight cracking, perishing, and physical damage across multiple axles. These recurring faults suggest the owner replaces tyres based on MOT failure rather than preventative maintenance. Given the low mileage and age, you should also inspect the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or dry rot, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
