How long will a VW Up last?
The estimated lifespan of a Volkswagen Up is 129,000 miles, before reaching the life expectancy upper limit. Factors such as ULEZ compliance and BHP are major when looking into a vehicle’s lifespan/life expectancy. All about the battery warranty Every Volkswagen all-electric vehicle, comes with a warranty for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles from point of first registration (whichever comes first), to ensure your battery retains 70% of its original capacity. This warranty is available from new and can be passed on to future owners.A Volkswagen car battery typically lasts around 5 years, but this can vary depending on driving habits, climate, maintenance, and repairs. As with most batteries, its lifespan is determined by how well it’s maintained and the conditions it faces.However, it seems to have proven a reliable choice for many owners, and with fewer pieces of technology to go wrong than with rivals, there should be fewer headaches as the car gets older. On top of Volkswagen’s three-year, 60,000-mile warranty, the batteries are also covered for eight years and 100,000 miles.
Is VW Up ok on the motorway?
I’m happy to report that you’re wrong — the Up (and the equivalent Skoda and SEAT versions) is one of those small car’s that’s oddly good on the motorway. OK, with 60hp you’re not going to be winning any Grands Prix, but it’s entirely adequate, keeps up with other traffic and is pretty decently economical too. The Up has always performed well in our reliability surveys, and although it didn’t feature in our latest reliability survey our latest data from the previous survey shows no deviance. Its score of 96. Skoda Citigo.
