2008 Skoda Roomster 1.4L Diesel · D14 YDD

The Skoda Roomster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 128,235 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 21 February 2024 at 126,725 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle is currently holding its mechanical condition without any escalating advisory or failure pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 128,235 against an 18 year life, averaging roughly 7,124 miles per year which is typical for the age. The history shows light annual use: 123,964 miles in September 2022, 126,033 by September 2023, and 126,725 in February 2024. A gap exists between the February 2024 pass and the May 2025 test where roughly 1,500 miles were added over fifteen months, indicating the car spent extended periods stationary. The September 2023 and September 2022 failures carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or unlogged test issues rather than flagged mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five entries. The clean record suggests previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, though absence of advisories on a 128,000 mile car is unusual and may reflect tester leniency. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity for hidden rust, check coil springs and suspension bushes for age related fatigue, and verify brake caliper operation after the long low use periods. Confirm the cambelt and water pump service history, as the MOT data does not cover internal drivetrain maintenance on this 2008 unit.
