2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · PE64 LCT

The Volkswagen Up is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 97,073 miles. While the vehicle holds a valid certificate, the maintenance trend is clearly worsening. The latest inspection returned a significant list of advisories covering braking components, suspension bushings, and wheel integrity, contrasting sharply with the clean records maintained between 2021 and 2023. The accumulation of these faults suggests that the current owner has deferred necessary preventative maintenance, allowing multiple consumable items to reach a state of degradation simultaneously. Annual mileage has increased notably in the final two years of the record. Between September 2021 and October 2022, the vehicle covered roughly 5,400 miles, whereas the most recent interval between October 2024 and February 2026 saw over 10,000 miles added in a shorter timeframe. This accelerated use, combined with the recent failure to address worn tyres and suspension components, indicates the car has been subjected to harder daily duty without a corresponding increase in servicing frequency. Prospective buyers must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system, specifically the discs and pads which are now flagged as thin and worn. The recurring mention of suspension arm bushes in both the 2024 and 2026 tests indicates these components are likely reaching the end of their service life and will require replacement to restore handling precision. You should also inspect the nearside front wheel for the reported distortion and verify the condition of all four tyres, as the presence of sidewall damage and cracking suggests the vehicle has been driven over poor road surfaces or neglected during storage. Budgeting for an immediate suspension and brake overhaul is advisable to bring this vehicle back to a reliable standard.
