2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · LM13 AAF

The Volkswagen Up presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 12 June 2025 at 86,371 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared the 4 June 2024 examination at 80,331 miles and the 26 May 2023 check at 74,168 miles with clean sheets. Two anomalous failures appear on 26 May 2023 and 5 June 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, both showing no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation sits within typical bounds for a 2013 registered car. The odometer advanced from 74,168 miles in May 2023 to 80,331 by June 2024, then to 86,206 by June 2025, equating to roughly 6,000 miles per annum. Such light use implies reduced strain on consumables and drivetrain components. The record lacks major gaps, tests cluster annually with only the dual entries on single dates standing out. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, though the unexplained fail outcomes hint at lapses in documentation or pre-test preparation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions given the vehicle's thirteen years of age. The absence of advisories in the MOT data does not preclude age-related corrosion or worn rubber components that a road test would reveal. Verify the reason behind the two no-defect failures, as these may indicate meter discrepancies or missing paperwork that could affect provenance.
