The VOLKSWAGEN UP! (2011-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 75 EU6 HIGH UP! is a small three-door city car, designed for easy motoring rather than carrying a large family. In the UK market it sits among compact, economical hatchbacks, offering a well-equipped alternative to the Fiat 500 and Hyundai i10. Its modest size makes parking and narrow streets less daunting. mycarcheck.com has recorded 477 checks covering 220 different VINs, giving a snapshot of used examples. These show an average private-sale value of £5,700, recorded mileage of 42,000 miles and annual use of about 5,000 miles; cars have averaged around 1.5 previous keepers. That points to relatively lightly used examples, though each car’s history matters. The 75PS petrol engine feels lively around town, while High Up! trim gives this small Volkswagen a more premium touch than basic rivals. It suits first-time drivers, couples and urban commuters seeking an economical, characterful car, though three doors are less convenient for rear passengers.
