2017 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · OO03 NEM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 April 2025 at 23,538 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent string of passes across the last five tests indicates that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity and has not suffered from recurring structural issues often seen in older cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,615 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 12,110 miles and September 2022 at 18,658 miles, the car covered over 6,500 miles, representing a period of higher use. However, between the 2022 and 2025 tests, the vehicle covered only 4,880 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also raises the potential risks associated with long periods of sitting stationary. While the record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer should inspect specific areas that are affected by low-mileage operation. Check for dry rot or cracking on the tyres and examine the suspension bushes, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. The brakes should be checked for pitting or seizing, as infrequent use often leads to brake calipers locking up. Additionally, verify the chassis for any surface corrosion to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental damage from a damp environment.
