Volkswagen Up (2023)
2023 Volkswagen Up
CarHunch is tracking 840 2023 Volkswagen Up vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
No MOT history yet — it's too new
UK cars don't need their first MOT until they're 3 years old, so there's no test history for the 2023 Volkswagen Up yet. We'll have real reliability data as they start coming through for their first tests.
In the meantime, you can browse other Volkswagen models with full MOT histories:

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
**No MOT data is available for the 2023 Volkswagen Up in the DVLA light-vehicle database**, so the pass rates and defect figures shown are not real — this cohort has either not yet accumulated sufficient test records or falls outside the standard testing regime. What we do know is that the Up is a practical city car designed for urban commuting and tight parking, and the median mileage of 15,661 miles suggests these vehicles are still very new and lightly used. If you're considering buying one, focus on the warranty coverage (new VWs typically come with three years or 60,000 miles) rather than MOT history, and wait until these cars have aged beyond three years before using MOT data as a reliability indicator. For current owners, Volkswagen's reputation for build quality and the Up's simplicity mean routine servicing is the priority; check the service schedule rather than worrying about MOT performance that simply doesn't exist yet.
We have 840 2023 Volkswagen Up vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data yet to show reliable statistics — as a 2023 model, most vehicles won't have reached their first MOT test date.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
