2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · RE64 WWG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent history indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. In the 17 October 2025 test at 31,311 miles, the car failed due to an ineffective fuel cap seal and perishing on both rear tyres. These issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day. The overall trend remains stable with three consecutive clean passes recorded in the years preceding this failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Volkswagen Up, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 26,045 miles and October 2025 at 31,311 miles, the car covered only 5,266 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle likely sat for extended periods or was used for short trips. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber and fluids regardless of the mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all rubber components, as the October 2025 failure confirms that the rear tyres are cracking from age despite having sufficient tread depth. Check for sidewall perishing on the remaining tyres and verify the integrity of the fuel filler assembly. Given the low mileage and age, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which are common issues in vehicles that are not driven frequently. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis and suspension components remain in good condition for now.
