2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · PX13 WRA

The September 2025 MOT at 42,269 miles passed with only minor defects, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the recorded corrosion on the rear axle and worn near‑side rear tyre indicate a maintenance trend that has shifted from stable to mildly deteriorating. Mileage has climbed from 11,600 miles in September 2016 to 42,269 miles by September 2025, a rise of roughly 3,250 miles per year, showing consistent use without large gaps; the only anomalous period is the two September 2022 tests at the same odometer reading, after which mileage accelerated to 34,987 miles in 2023 and 38,167 miles in 2024. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear axle for rust penetration, examine the condition of the near‑side rear tyre and all four tyres for edge wear and perishing, verify brake disc thickness and pad wear, check suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or excessive play, confirm the off‑side windscreen wiper clears the glass effectively, and ensure the missing nearside mirror is replaced and the structural integrity of the chassis is sound.
