2014 SKODA ROOMSTER1.2L Petrol

The 2014 Skoda Roomster demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-02-03 MOT at 66,769 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-02-04 (55,880 miles) and 2024-02-20 (48,605 miles) also passed without issues, confirming consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures in the last four tests suggests no emerging mechanical or structural concerns, though the 2022-11-29 entry shows conflicting pass/fail statuses at the same mileage, warranting verification with the DVSA. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,769 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,564 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage implies infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate fluid degradation, battery drain, or component stiffness. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 7,275-mile jump from 40,101 to 48,605 miles between 2022 and 2024—may reflect extended storage, though no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural faults were recorded. The MOT history lacks recurring issues, indicating the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. A buyer should inspect for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as hardened brake discs, seized suspension bushes, or corroded exhaust components, which may not trigger MOT failures but affect long-term reliability. Check fluid levels, tyre condition, and the battery’s age, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The absence of structural rust or major mechanical advisories is positive, but physical examination of the underbody, wheel bearings, and brake calipers is recommended to confirm the MOT records align with the vehicle’s actual state.
