2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · WF13 CAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 73,483 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a lapse in basic consumable upkeep evidenced by a failure on that same day due to three tyres with illegal tread depths on the offside rear, nearside front, and offside front. While these faults were rectified to achieve passing, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the previous owner neglected routine checks between annual testing intervals. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 73,483 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,653 miles. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,000 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the tyres, as the record noted cracking and perishing on the offside rear tyre in both 2024 and 2025. Age-related rubber rot is common in low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods. Also verify the nearside front wheel bearing, which was flagged as noisy in 2023 at 57,499 miles, to ensure the condition has not progressed toward failure. The offside rear brake binding noted in April 2024 warrants a check of the caliper piston and slider pins to ensure no uneven pad wear is occurring.
