2020 Volkswagen E-UP Electric · YR20 VEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in June 2025 at 13,042 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a specific mechanical failure just eight days prior. In the June 2025 test at 12,996 miles, the car failed due to parking brake efficiency falling below requirements. The subsequent pass at a higher mileage suggests the owner addressed the fault immediately, restoring the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,174 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it introduces risks associated with long periods of standing. The record shows consistent annual mileage progression, moving from 8,493 miles in 2023 to 13,042 miles in 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left stationary for extended months. A buyer should prioritize the inspection of the rubber components, as the history indicates recurring issues with tyre age. The 2023 test at 8,493 miles flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing, and the 2024 test at 10,524 miles noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit. Despite the low mileage, the rubber degrades over time regardless of distance travelled. An inspector must check the sidewalls for dry rot and ensure the tyres are not aged beyond their structural integrity. The 2025 parking brake failure also warrants a physical check of the handbrake mechanism and cables. Low-use vehicles often cause brake calipers to seize or cables to corrode due to lack of movement. Verify that the parking brake holds firmly and that there is no signs of binding or uneven wear on the brake discs.
