The VOLKSWAGEN UP! (2011-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 BLUEMOTION TECH SS 75 EU5 HIGH UP! is a three-door city car made for everyday driving rather than carrying a crowd. In the UK used-car market, it sits among economical hatchbacks in its class, alongside the Fiat 500, Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto. mycarcheck.com records 173 checks across 99 different VINs, a useful sample of cars shoppers have researched. These show an average private-sale value of £4,600 and 59,000 miles, with around 6,000 miles driven annually. The cars averaged just under two previous keepers, suggesting many have had relatively straightforward ownership histories overall. The 1.0-litre engine and BlueMotion technology prioritise low running costs, while the High Up! trim brings a more appealing, better-equipped feel than basic city cars. Its compact size and easy manners suit commuters, new drivers and couples; limited rear space makes it less suited to families or regular long trips.
