2012 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · GV62 VFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 at 62,278 miles. The tester recorded an off‑side front inner road wheel slightly distorted, corrosion on the rear axle and a near‑side rear brake pipe covered in grease and showing corrosion. These items are advisory rather than fatal, indicating the car remains legal for the road but with minor remedial work advisable. At 62,278 miles the car averages roughly 4,400 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2012 model. The mileage log shows steady, modest increases between annual tests – for example 54,655 miles in November 2024 and 47,978 miles in November 2023 – suggesting no periods of intensive use or high‑speed mileage spikes. The low annual accumulation reduces the likelihood of premature wear on major components. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring corrosion and wear items. Inspect the rear axle beam and front sub‑frame for any progression beyond the advisory corrosion noted in 2022 and 2021. Verify the condition of the near‑side rear brake pipe and ensure no leaks or excessive grease remain. Examine the front wheels for the reported inner distortion and confirm that tyre tread is uniform, especially given the near‑limit wear recorded on front tyres in 2018 and 2022. Check brake pads, as the vehicle failed for sub‑1.5 mm pads in 2024; confirm current pad thickness and disc condition. Finally, a visual check of suspension bushes and steering components will confirm that the low mileage has not concealed any hidden wear.
