2019 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FH68 DFC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 17,574 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a car that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,511 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between December 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer rose from 10,438 to 17,574 miles. Prior to this, the car saw very light use, covering only 1,265 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests. The absence of any flagged defects, such as worn suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread issues, suggests a high standard of care. The failure on 18 December 2023 was resolved immediately on the same day at the same mileage, which typically points to a minor administrative or easily rectifiable fault rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber seals and the condition of the battery, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from stagnation. Inspect the brake calipers for sticking and check the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
