2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · SF14 ABG

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 104,729 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last two years, suggesting the car is currently in good mechanical order. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,727 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 95,060 miles and the March 2026 test at 104,729 miles, the car covered 9,669 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a car of this age and mileage. There are no recorded failures for consumables like tyres, wiper blades, or brake pads, nor any mentions of suspension bushes or coil spring fatigue. The failures on 7 October 2024 and 18 September 2025 were resolved on the same day with no defects listed, which often points to administrative errors or minor issues corrected immediately before the retest. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester might overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check for chassis corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system, as these often deteriorate gradually before becoming an MOT failure. Given the lack of advisories regarding brake discs or binding calipers, a manual check of the pedal feel and a visual inspection of the brake fluid clarity will confirm if the service history matches the clean MOT record.
