2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FM66 FMF

The 2017 Volkswagen Up presents a stable and largely clean maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 9 October 2025 at 33,740 miles with zero defects recorded. A failed test on 3 October 2024 at 28,468 miles appears in the record, though no defects were logged for that specific failure, suggesting either an administrative anomaly or an immediately rectified minor issue prior to the pass on the same day. Overall, the maintenance trajectory remains consistently positive, showing no signs of worsening or emerging mechanical faults. At nine years old with 33,740 miles on the clock, this Up averages roughly 3,749 miles per year, a notably low figure. The mileage accumulation is steady rather than erratic, progressing from 20,122 miles in September 2022 to 22,876 miles in September 2023, and then to 28,468 miles in October 2024. The most recent year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 5,272 miles, but the overall pattern reflects light, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage runs. The data is sparse but entirely clean, lacking the gaps or spikes that might suggest neglect. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components vulnerable to deterioration from light use. Buyers should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber may have perished before reaching the legal tread limit. Brake discs and calipers require checking for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles covering short distances where components rarely reach full operating temperature to clear moisture. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should also be inspected for perishing, given the car's age and the tendency for rubber to degrade over time regardless of mileage.
