2018 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FH67 NBE

The current roadworthiness status of this Volkswagen Up is technically compliant, yet the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of deferred expenditure on essential consumables. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 30,297 miles, the recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and brake disc degradation suggest that previous owners have prioritised minimal compliance over proactive replacement. The failure in March 2025 due to illegal tread depths demonstrates a reactive approach to vehicle care that warrants caution. The recorded mileage of 30,297 over eight years averages approximately 3,787 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the typical UK usage profile. This low-mileage history explains the persistent issues with tyre perishing, as rubber compounds degrade over time when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. The jump from 23,776 miles in February 2023 to 26,710 miles by January 2024 suggests a period of light use, followed by a more concentrated usage pattern between 2024 and 2025. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the brake discs and tyre sidewalls, as the MOT record confirms these components are nearing the end of their service life. The consistent flagging of pitted and scored front discs suggests the vehicle may have spent time in damp storage, leading to surface corrosion that has not been cleared by regular, heavy braking. Verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls for deep cracking beyond the surface level, and check the brake pedal feel for any pulsation or sponginess that would indicate the need for an immediate overhaul of the braking system.
