2016 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FN16 ACX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 22 April 2025 at 60,191 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the car moved from repeated failures in previous years to a clean pass with no recorded defects. This lack of advisories or failures in the latest test suggests that any previous issues were addressed effectively, and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards for road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. Between the April 2024 test at 46,759 miles and the April 2025 test at 60,191 miles, the vehicle covered 13,432 miles. This specific period represents a higher rate of usage compared to the annual average, which typically increases the wear rate on consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension-related bushes. While the latest record is clean, the history of failures in April 2024 and April 2025 indicates that the vehicle previously required immediate mechanical attention to pass inspection. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the lower suspension arms and coil springs for signs of premature wear, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles remain stationary for long periods between uses.
