2021 Volkswagen UP GTI 1.0L Petrol · ST71 KWL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition following its most recent test in March 2026. The maintenance trend is currently stable, though the latest entry indicates the first recorded defect in the service history. At 22,665 miles, the tester flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted or scored. While this did not result in a failure, it marks the start of a wear cycle that will require attention shortly. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,533 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 17,902 miles in October 2024 to 21,075 miles in March 2025, and reaching 22,665 miles by the latest test. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light or short-distance use, which can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on metal components like brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between drives. A buyer should specifically inspect the front brake assembly in person to determine if the pitting and scoring are merely surface rust or deeper degradation. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for flat spots on the tyres or perished rubber components that can occur with infrequent use. The previous two MOT tests showed no structural or suspension defects, suggesting the core mechanical integrity of the GTI remains well-preserved, provided the noted brake wear is monitored for further deterioration.
