Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 13 years old and 69,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2013 Up!s use the small 1.0‑litre petrol engine which is mechanically simple and reliable; some rare variants used the turbo TSI — confirm which engine you’re looking at. The automatic on these cars is the robotised/automated clutch unit (often called ASG) rather than a traditional smooth torque‑converter; it saves fuel and cost but can feel jerky if not serviced correctly. Interior space and boot are small compared with larger hatchbacks, so expect tight rear legroom.
- ASG/automated gearbox behaviour — watch for hesitations, jerky take‑offs and check for a recorded gearbox/ clutch service.
- Confirm exact 1.0 engine: MPI (simple) or TSI turbo; if TSI check for oil consumption and turbo service history.
- Rust and corrosion around sills, door bottoms, wheelarches and suspension mounting points (age 13 years).
- Tyre production dates (DOT codes) and even wear — tyres on older low‑mileage cars are often aged and should be renewed.
- Front suspension and anti‑roll link wear: listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear.
