2013 VW Up! Move Up – Reflex Silver

Genuine private sale. This tidy little VW Up! was bought as a first car for my daughter, but she’s now decided she doesn’t want to learn to drive. It’s been properly looked after and prepared to be a reliable, low-cost starter car.

Key details:

• 106,000 miles
• MOT until January 2027
• Only £20 per year road tax
• Very cheap to insure (ideal first car)
• Full service in February 2026 (oil, plugs, all filters)
• Brand new battery
• New windscreen
• New wiper blades
• New rear wheel bearings
• Brakes recently replaced
• Clutch replaced at 85,000 miles
• Good tyres all round
• Brand new unused spare wheel

The car has the usual age and mileage-related scuffs and marks you’d expect on a 13-year-old car, but it’s perfectly presentable and clean. It doesn’t have the original VW infotainment, but it comes with a quality aftermarket unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — a useful upgrade.

Comes with two keys; the remote fob on one has stopped working (very common on these and cheap to sort if needed).

It’s a proper little trooper — recently did a trip to Scotland and back without missing a beat.

A straightforward, honest little car that’s ready to go. I’ve knocked off £100 to cover cost of the key being sorted, open offers but sensible ones only please.
