The VW Up! actually has a long life timing belt on it because of its slightly off rounded cam gears, meaning it only tensions the belt when required for valve action. The belt is meant to last the life of the vehicle (being an Up, that was probably meant to only be 5 years). VW themselves have no scheduled maintenance reporting on it, just inspection for wear.

Not quiet true. VW requires visual inspection for the timing belt and replacement if deemed needed. First visual inspection is at 240.000km/150.000miles and then every 30.000km at every service although I'd simply change it at 240

@@supervitz7178 what Ferdinand was referring to is manufacturers definition of 'life of the vehicle'. All car makers define it as the length of the warranty, everyone else expects their cars to last a damned sight longer. I've bought several cheap cars with 'faulty' auto gearboxes. All 'sealed for life', all just needed a change of transmission fluid to revive them.

As someone who owns a dealership I can say that a small hatchback (Polo & Fiesta size) with 4/5 doors in a “normal” color such as white, grey and black is easier to sell than a red/blue car. Also as low mileage as possible with full servicebook helps the price go up. Maximum of 10 years old (not quite sure how it is in the UK with financing a car) so it’s easier for people to get it financed. When writing the advert dont go telling a long story. Just write the specs and equipment of the car.

Having the originals is a way of showing that the car has really been cared for. As for the up! You can still get hubcaps brand new from Volkswagen, so it was just lazy to get them from eurocarparts. And as yes, they are cheaper, it shows that the owner would rather buy cheap plastic-y parts than genuine OEM
