Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status with a consistent record of clean passes. The most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 at 19,863 miles resulted in no defects, confirming that the mechanical condition remains stable and free of recurring issues. This streak of five consecutive clean passes suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and careful ownership throughout the last half-decade. The recorded mileage of 19,863 over thirteen years indicates a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 1,528 miles per annum. This consistent, low-mileage accumulation suggests the car has likely been used for short, local journeys rather than sustained high-speed motorway travel. The lack of test gaps or erratic mileage spikes between the 2021 and 2025 inspections points to a vehicle that has been kept in regular, light service rather than left standing for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of age rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is clean, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished rubber components due to infrequent use. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the suspension bushes and coil springs do not show signs of cracking or fatigue from sitting idle. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of internal corrosion caused by condensation buildup from short-trip driving, as these issues may not always trigger an immediate failure on a standard MOT test.

Our Verdict

This 2013 Volkswagen Move Up presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with remarkably low mileage for its age. It represents a very low-risk purchase for anyone seeking a straightforward, economical city car.

When inspecting this Volkswagen Move Up, verify the paper or digital service history to confirm that the exceptionally low mileage—averaging less than 1,600 miles per year—is supported by regular oil changes and servicing. Low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from infrequent use, so check the condition of the tyres, rubber hoses, and brakes for signs of perishing or corrosion.

Negotiate on the basis of any upcoming age-related maintenance, such as brake fluid changes or timing checks, which may be due regardless of the low mileage. Ensure all electrical functions, including the windows, lights, and any basic infotainment, operate correctly before finalising the purchase.

Equipped with a frugal 999.0cc petrol engine, this Volkswagen Move Up should offer excellent fuel economy for daily commuting and urban driving. City cars in this engine bracket typically fall into a low annual Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) band and sit within lower insurance groups, making them highly economical to keep on the road.

Routine maintenance costs for the Up range are generally modest due to widespread parts availability and straightforward mechanical architecture. Typical annual running costs, encompassing fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be between £700 and £950.

Although the MOT history from 2021 to 2025 is entirely free of defects and advisories, a physical inspection is still essential. Examine the blue paintwork and body panels for any parking dings, scratches, or uneven panel gaps that might indicate unreported minor repairs.

Check the condition of the suspension components, steering rack, and exhaust system underneath the vehicle, as low usage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on underbody parts. Verify that the interior upholstery, seat adjusters, and seatbelts show no excessive wear or dampness.

First registered in December 2013 and finished in blue, this petrol-powered 999.0cc Volkswagen Move Up has recorded a mere 19,863 miles by its November 2025 MOT test. The vehicle's history shows five consecutive passes between 2021 and 2025, with zero advisories or failures noted across any of these tests. This consistent record highlights a lack of recorded mechanical or safety defects during recent years.

No aggregate reliability data is available for the Volkswagen Move Up, though the model shares its robust platform and mechanical components with the wider Volkswagen Group city car range.
