Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban drivers, pro
When viewing this e-Up, prioritize checking the condition of all four tyres. The 2025 MOT record specifically flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, so ensure these have been replaced or have significant tread remaining.
As this is an electric vehicle, confirm that the charging cables are present and that the battery health is documented. While the MOT does not cover battery capacity, a well-documented history of regular electrical system checks is a plus for any EV buyer.
Running costs for this e-Up are typically lower than petrol equivalents due to the electric drivetrain. Fuel costs will depend on your home charging setup versus public rapid chargers, but generally, electricity per mile is cheaper than petrol.
Tax and insurance groups for the e-Up are usually quite competitive, making it an economical choice for city commuting. Expect maintenance costs to be lower than internal combustion engine cars, as there are fewer moving parts, though you should budget for periodic tyre replacements as seen in the 2025 MOT history.
Specifically inspect the front tyres; the 2025 MOT history noted wear on the edges, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across the front axle.
Additionally, ensure all exterior lighting is functional, as headlamps are a common failure point for this model type according to aggregate data. Although no lighting defects were noted in the recent 2026 MOT, it remains a standard check for this vehicle class.
This 2021 black Volkswagen e-Up has covered 16,384 miles since its first registration in November 2021. The MOT history shows a relatively low-mileage profile, with the most recent test in August 2026 recording no defects. While there were tyre-related advisories in 2025, the vehicle's mileage remains consistent with the model's average annual usage.
The Volkswagen e-Up shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.1% across 3,020 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally stable mechanical standards for this model.
