2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · NK64 VAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 26,289 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure just two miles prior for an ineffective windscreen wiper. This indicates the owner addresses immediate faults, as the subsequent pass showed no further defects or advisories. The overall trend suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances during the annual inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered only 5,494 miles, confirming a history of infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low mileage typically results in significantly less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake system compared to average market examples. However, such low usage can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle is not driven regularly to clear them. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or suspension failures, the low mileage necessitates a check for perished wiper blades, dry bushings, and tyre sidew cracking despite having sufficient tread. Inspect the brakes for binding calipers or heavy pitting, as stationary vehicles are prone to these issues. Given the clean record, the car appears to be a well-maintained low-mileage example, provided the fluids and belts have been changed according to time intervals rather than distance.
