2016 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · SC16 YDA

The most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 recorded a pass at 42,793 miles with no defects noted, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy. Across the five-year record the car has consistently passed without recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend and no emerging mechanical issues. Mileage has risen from 24,824 miles in August 2022 to 42,793 miles in August 2025, an average increase of roughly 6,000 miles per year. For a 2016 model this equates to about 4,300 miles annually, well below typical usage and suggesting light duty rather than high‑stress operation. No abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps appear in the log, reinforcing the impression of steady, low‑intensity use. A prospective buyer should still examine wear items that the MOT does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for any uneven wear, verify that brake pads and discs show no glazing or scoring, and check the suspension for worn bushes or leaking shock absorbers. A visual survey for corrosion on wheel arches, chassis rails, and under‑body panels will confirm the absence of structural rust. Confirm that the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive noise, and ensure all lighting, wipers, and electronic controls function correctly. These checks will validate that the vehicle’s low‑mileage, defect‑free MOT history translates into sound on‑road condition.
