2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · H4 EBK

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 74,071 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the mechanical and consumable issues identified in 2024 appear to have been addressed before the latest test. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults rather than allowing them to accumulate to the point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,173 miles per year over the twelve-year period. The data shows steady annual usage, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles covered between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. This low-mileage profile generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing due to age alone, as seen in the historical records. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and alignment during a physical inspection. The 2024 test flagged front tyres wearing on the inner edge, which often indicates a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the 2025 record is clean, the buyer must verify that the front tyres are not currently exhibiting similar uneven wear. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding a minor exhaust flexi leak should be visually confirmed to ensure the repair was permanent and that no new corrosion has developed on the exhaust manifold or piping.
