Mileage of 84,868 is above three-quarters of 2018 Ups tested in 2025.
CO2 band: B — 101 g/km

Against every Volkswagen Up first used in 2018 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (12,873 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.
| Measure | This car | Typical 2018 Up | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pass rate, first attempts | 4 of 6 (67%) | 84.8% in 2025 | Lower than the group figure |
| Fails, first attempts | 2 of 6 | 11.9% of first tests | Higher than the group figure |
| Fixed during the test (PRS) | 0 | 3.4% of first tests | None on this record |
| Mileage at its latest test (24 Apr 2026) | 84,868 miles | 33,245 (middle half 21,670–47,318) | Above the middle half; not an outlier |
| Clean passes (no advisories) | 1 of 6 | 52.5% of first tests | Lower than the group figure |
"Typical" is every Volkswagen Up first used in 2018, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.
Bars: share of 2018 Up first tests that did not pass first time in 2025 carrying each item, in DVSA's wording. Right-hand note: what this car's own record shows in that area.
This car: 84,868 miles at its latest test — above the middle half.

Full provenance report — no Data Guarantee — £5.99. Data provided by Experian.
This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.
What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.
