2015 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · LB15 ADX

The vehicle presents a good roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent MOT conducted in October 2025 at 42,606 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. Since the 2024 inspection, the car has maintained a record without defects, suggesting a proactive approach to resolving faults. The recorded mileage is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns over the decade, moving from 19,227 miles in 2018 to 42,606 miles by 2025. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes affect rubber-based parts. This was evident in the October 2024 test at 39,999 miles, where the nearside front wheel bearing and both rear tyres were flagged for perishing and noise. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension components, as the history indicates the vehicle is prone to dry rot due to its low mileage. The noisy nearside front wheel bearing noted in 2024 should be verified to ensure it was replaced and is not currently failing. Additionally, while the fog lamp switch failure in 2021 was a minor electrical fault, a quick check of the lighting circuit is advisable. Overall, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures.
