Description

This 2012 Volkswagen Up 1.0 Take up is a tidy, economical city hatch that makes everyday driving straightforward. The lively 1.0-litre three-cylinder and five-speed manual deliver willing response around town while remaining impressively frugal on longer runs. Steering is light and predictable, making parking and tight manoeuvres effortless.
Practical and unfussy inside, the cabin offers comfortable seating for four, useful storage and simple controls. With a fresh 12-month MOT, a new clutch being fitted before sale and a clear HPI, it’s ready to go as a low-cost commuter or first car. Viewing available in Kirkham.
