2015 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · SD65 HPJ

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in the March 2026 test at 43,945 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable and improving following a period of reactive repairs. While the car showed a pattern of failing tests in 2024 and 2025, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection indicates that the previous owner addressed the outstanding mechanical and safety defects to bring the vehicle to standard. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 43,945 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of deteriorating rubber-based components. The data shows consistent annual usage, such as the 2,082 miles driven between March 2025 and March 2026. However, the long intervals between tests can lead to the perishing of tyres and fuel seals noted in the 2021 record. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension during physical inspection. The 2025 failure at 41,863 miles identified excessively worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both front sides. While these were seemingly rectified, low-mileage vehicles that sit often suffer from dry cracking in these bushes. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre wear and uneven damage across 2021 and 2024, which may indicate a persistent alignment problem or worn shock absorbers that were not fully resolved.
