2020 Volkswagen UP Black Edition 1.0L Petrol · OV70 ACJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 42,283 miles, but the tester flagged a nearside rear tyre showing slight cracking/perishing under clause 5.2.3(d)(ii). The earlier test on 27 September 2024 recorded a worn parking brake lever under clause 1.1.6(b)(i), while the October 2023 test showed no defects. The pattern indicates a stable condition with only minor consumable and component wear; no new serious faults have emerged, suggesting basic upkeep has been maintained. Mileage accumulation follows a consistent trajectory: 24,117 miles in October 2023, 34,503 miles in September 2024 (a rise of 10,386 miles over roughly 11 months) and 42,283 miles in September 2025 (an increase of 7,780 miles over a similar interval). This works out to about 7,000 miles per year, which is typical for a six‑year‑old vehicle and reflects normal usage rather than excessive wear. The testing intervals are regular, with each MOT performed close to the annual due date, so there are no notable gaps in the record. A buyer should inspect the nearside rear tyre for any further perishing or cracking, as the recent advisory suggests ongoing wear. The parking brake lever should be examined for excessive play or wear, and the associated mechanism checked for corrosion or binding. A visual check of the brake discs and pads, suspension bushes and mounts, and the under‑body for rust will confirm whether the minor faults have progressed. Verifying service records alongside the MOT entries will help gauge the level of routine maintenance the vehicle has received.
