2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FL13 GHK

The Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 11 April 2026 at 48,112 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 25 June 2025 at 44,942 miles and 12 January 2024 at 42,690 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or escalating faults across the recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2013 vehicle, with only 48,112 miles logged over approximately thirteen years, averaging 3,701 miles annually. A gap exists between the 12 January 2024 test and the previous 10 May 2022 entry at 35,858 miles, during which 6,832 miles were covered; the subsequent 2024 to 2026 period added just 5,422 miles. The records are sparse but consistently clean, with a single anomaly on 10 May 2022 where the tester issued both a fail and pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low standing mileage, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion and seizing of calipers not captured in a pass result. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity showed no flags across all tests, implying previous owners maintained basic upkeep without skipped consumable neglect. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or underbody rust, the history implies conscientious low-mileage ownership. Verify the 2022 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA and commission a pre-purchase check of the braking system and subframe for hidden age-related degradation.
