2018 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · GV68 DXJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 32,085 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five annual tests indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and October 2022, the car covered only 1,822 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or minimal use. Since then, the mileage accumulation has remained steady, with a 6,295-mile gap recorded between the October 2024 test and the October 2025 test. This low usage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to issues related to the vehicle sitting for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a buyer should still inspect for specific issues common with low-mileage cars. Long stationary periods can cause flat-spot or cracking in tyres and seizing of brake calipers due to lack of use. Check the brake discs for significant surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding despite the low mileage. Additionally, inspect the rubber suspension bushes and bushings for cracking, as these age and perish over time regardless of the distance driven.
