Interested in finding a great deal on the popular VW up!?

Are you thinking of getting a used mini car? Then the VW up! is a good decision. AutoUncle present 630 options gathered from various dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What is the price range for a used VW up!?

The cheapest VW up! that is available here on AutoUncle costs £2,990, while the most expensive model is priced at £13,449.

The used car price of an VW up! is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are the year of manufacturing, engine size and performance, fuel efficiency, how far the car has already travelled as well as equipment variant.

For instance, a car that is newer and has fewer miles on the clock will typically command a higher price. In the same vein, models at the higher end, replete with luxurious features or more robust engines, generally come with a more substantial price tag than, for example, an older car without special equipment and with many kilometres behind it.

What equipment levels can you get the VW up! with?

When comparing the prices of used VW up!, it is important only comparing the sale prices of cars with the same engine and trim level. Otherwise, you might reach a wrong conclusion on which car to buy.

What are the most popular fuel types for the VW up!?

Petrol ranks as the top fuel type for the VW up!.

We advocate for a careful review of your driving habits before you commit to a fuel type. In an average week, how much distance do you drive? Are you more inclined to take short drives or to go on longer journeys?

Electric, plug-in hybrid and petrol work well for short trips. If you drive long distances on a daily basis, an electric car is good - especially if you can charge at home or at work. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.

What body types do the VW up! have?

The VW up! only comes in the hatchback body type in the UK. Hatchbacks are excellent compact cars that combine great driving with the flexibility of ample space. They are very popular with people living in cities, as they are typically fuel efficient and easy to park.
