2015 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · SM15 AEW

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 64,260 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 25 February 2026 and 25 February 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues resolved immediately. The mileage is low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,842 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the odometer rose from 43,464 to 55,128 miles. The subsequent year saw a further increase to 64,260 miles. This pattern indicates the car has moved from very light use to a more consistent annual mileage. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across the last three years. Such a sterile record on a decade old car is rare. A buyer should physically inspect the brake calipers for seizing and check the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables often wear out due to age rather than mileage. Check for signs of chassis corrosion and inspect the engine oil and coolant for degradation. Low mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber seals or moisture buildup if they spent long periods standing. Ensure the battery and alternator are functioning correctly given the low annual usage recorded in the earlier years of the vehicle's life.
