2022 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · LS22 GSY

The 2022 Volkswagen UP presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 18 April 2026 at 19,721 miles passed with zero defects, and the prior test on 18 April 2025 at 12,532 miles also passed with no advisories or failures. This back-to-back clean record indicates a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged by DVSA testers. The maintenance trend is stable and improving in the sense that the car has entered its first MOT cycle without any emerging issues. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of low annual use. Between the two tests, the car covered 7,189 miles over exactly 12 months, averaging roughly 599 miles per month. Over its full four-year life, the recorded 19,721 miles equate to approximately 4,930 miles per year, well below the UK average. The annual MOT intervals align perfectly with April-to-April testing, showing no gaps in the record and consistent yearly accumulation. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious drops in mileage that would suggest odometer tampering or extended periods of disuse. With no defects recorded across either MOT, there are no recurring faults to flag for a buyer. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake components, tyre wear, or exhaust emissions suggests the previous owner kept on top of routine consumable replacements. The 2026 test at 19,721 miles is particularly relevant as it confirms the car passed its first full MOT under the three-year rule with a completely clean sheet. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully stress-test. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, as low-mileage cars can suffer from aged rubber rather than worn tread. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, brake lines, and exhaust fixings, especially if the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. Test the brakes for any binding or uneven pull on a road drive, and verify that all electrical components, including lights and wipers, operate correctly. The clean MOT record is a strong positive indicator, but a hands-on check remains essential before purchase.
