2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · WD14 HBE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent test on August 6, 2025, at 101,781 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner has successfully addressed any previous mechanical concerns. While the history shows instances of failure immediately prior to passes, the current clean sheet suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements. At 101,781 miles over 12 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 8,800 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 8,700 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which helps keep seals supple and braking components lubricated correctly. A buyer should investigate the specific nature of the failures recorded in August 2023 and 2024, as the specific defect codes are not listed in the provided summary. Recurring failures followed by immediate passes often point to consumable items such as bulbs, tyres, or minor exhaust components that were replaced post-test. Given the mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes, the condition of the coil springs, and any emerging corrosion on the structural underside, as these are common points of wear for the Volkswagen Up as it approaches six figures.
