2018 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · HF18 KXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred consumable upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 67,249 miles passed, but it introduced advisories for both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This marks a departure from the three-year period between 2023 and 2025 where the vehicle consistently passed with no recorded defects or advisories. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 37,635 miles and the March 2026 test at 67,249 miles, the car covered 30,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. The lack of major mechanical failures in the 2024 and 2025 records suggests the drivetrain and structural components have remained stable under this load profile, despite the minor windscreen damage noted in 2022. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry to determine the cause of the edge wear noted in the latest MOT. Uneven tyre degradation often indicates misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes which would require immediate attention to prevent further premature tyre failure. While the history is clean of structural corrosion or brake failures, a physical check of the brake pads and discs is advised to ensure the lack of recorded advisories has not masked binding calipers or thinning material.
