2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · NL63 AFK

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, as the July 7 2026 MOT at 49,171 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend after the earlier August 1 2023 failure was remedied. Mileage has risen steadily from 26,752 miles in May 2016 to 49,171 miles in July 2026, averaging about 3,782 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old car and suggests periods of limited use; the incremental increases from 44,094 miles in August 2023 to 45,930 miles in July 2024, then to 47,946 miles in August 2025 and finally to 49,171 miles in July 2026 show consistent, moderate accumulation without abrupt spikes. Recurring issues are limited to headlamp aim deviations noted in the August 1 2023 test, which were corrected before subsequent passes, and tyre wear recorded in the May 10 2019 test, where front tyres approached the legal limit and the off‑side rear tyre showed perishing; no evidence of suspension bush wear, binding calipers, brake disc corrosion, or structural rust appears in the record, though the under‑tray fitting in May 2017 warrants visual verification. A buyer should therefore examine headlamp alignment, tyre tread and sidewall condition, suspension components, brake performance, and check for any hidden corrosion around the wheel arches and chassis, as these areas have been flagged or could develop from the vehicle’s age and usage patterns.
