Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent MOT instability. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the two failures recorded in August 2025 suggest recent maintenance issues that require investigation.
When inspecting this specific Move Up, your primary focus should be on the repairs carried out following the August 2025 failures. Ask the seller for documentation or receipts specifically covering the work done between the failures on 17 August and the pass on 27 October 2025. Since the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of those defects, you must verify what was actually replaced or repaired.
Additionally, given the high mileage relative to the model average, check for signs of wear in the interior and around the suspension components. Ensure the service history is robust, as the MOT records alone do not confirm whether regular oil changes or mechanical maintenance have been performed on this 999cc engine.
The 999cc engine is typically found in low insurance groups and tax bands, making this a relatively economical city car. Fuel economy for the Move Up is generally efficient, though actual figures will depend on the driver and load.
Maintenance costs for Volkswagen small engines are generally predictable, but with the mileage now exceeding 74,000, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and potentially suspension components. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
You should pay close attention to the suspension and steering, as 'suspension arm' is noted as a top failure reason for this model type in our aggregate data. Even though no specific defects were listed in the recent failures, these components are common points of interest.
Check the windscreen washer system and all exterior lighting, as 'windscreen washer not working' is another frequent failure reason for this model. Finally, because the vehicle has covered much higher mileage than its peers, inspect the brake discs and pads for significant wear, and listen for any unusual noises from the engine or drivetrain during a test drive.
This 2013 red Volkswagen Move Up has covered 74,224 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,592 miles per year. The MOT history shows a period of instability in late 2025, with two failures occurring within a single month before a successful pass in October 2025. While the most recent result was clean, the mileage and recent testing pattern suggest a vehicle that has seen heavy use.
Based on an analysis of ,1618 vehicles, this model has a high average MOT pass rate of 91.0%, though suspension and washer systems are common failure points.
