2015 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FH15 LBV

The Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy following a pass on 2 December 2025 at 81,894 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the vehicle failed the prior day on 1 December 2025 at the same mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from the previous year, where a fail on 31 October 2024 at 76,570 miles with no defects recorded was followed by a pass on 7 November 2024 at 76,582 miles. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The record shows 71,907 miles at the October 2023 test, rising to 76,582 by November 2024 and 81,894 by December 2025, equating to roughly 4,700 miles annually over the final two years against a lifetime average near 7,445. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data, and the clean advisory history across all five entries suggests the previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The repeated no-defect fails on consecutive days in both 2024 and 2025 imply the vehicle may have been presented without required documentation or minor consumable items addressed off-record, so verify the V5C, service book, and current tyre tread and wiper condition. Given the age, examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion proactively, as MOT testers do not strip components and early fatigue will not show until a test threshold is breached.
