2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · GC17 BWJ

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a near-total absence of defects over its testing history and a clean pass as recently as 2026-07-21. The overall trend is one of stability, with the only recorded deficiency being a minor issue with a split nearside front windscreen wiper blade in July 2023. The recorded mileage of 16,867 miles is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, representing an average annual usage of roughly 1,874 miles. This usage pattern indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to the typical wear associated with high-mileage drivetrain or suspension use, though it suggests periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded failures regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or suspension linkages, there are no chronic mechanical faults identified in the DVSA data. A physical inspection should confirm that the windscreen wiper blades are currently functional and not split, as this was the sole point of failure in the vehicle's history. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual knocks or rattles that may have developed during periods of low use, despite the clean MOT record. Particular attention should be paid to the smooth operation of the steering and the absence of pedal judder, ensuring that the lack of recorded defects is reflected in the current mechanical feel of the vehicle.
