2014 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · YM14 AEC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 55,863 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, indicating a car that has been kept in a state of immediate compliance without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The mileage is low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,655 miles per year. Usage has remained steady over the last few years, with the odometer climbing from 34,492 miles in February 2023 to 55,863 miles by February 2026. This represents a moderate increase of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually in the most recent period, suggesting the car is now in more regular use than it was during the gap between December 2021 and February 2023. The complete absence of advisories across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record shows no failures for brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions, the lack of any flagged wear suggests a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still manually inspect the tyres and brake pads for age-related perishing or surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rubber degradation even when tread depth remains legal. Attention should be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the condition of structural components if no failure was imminent. Checking for fluid leaks and verifying the service history for oil changes is recommended, as low annual mileage can lead to shorter oil change intervals being ignored.
