2015 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · DK15 AZA

This Škoda Roomster presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with every test since March 2022 passing without any defects or advisories recorded. The most recent inspection on 4 February 2026 at 12,413 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a mechanically sound state, adhering to all DVSA roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring faults or escalating issues suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or, given the low mileage, minimal operational stress on core components. No warnings regarding suspension integrity, brake performance, or structural corrosion have ever been logged, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and model. The mileage pattern is highly irregular for a car of this vintage, with just 1,128 miles accumulated over the past 11 years—well below the UK average for a vehicle this old. Between March 2022 (9,086 miles) and January 2023 (10,927 miles), the car sat idle for over a year with no recorded mileage, followed by another 12-month gap between January 2023 (10,927 miles) and March 2023 (10,927 miles), where the odometer remained static. This stagnation raises questions about whether the vehicle was stored long-term or used only sporadically. The final 1,415 miles were covered between March 2023 and February 2026, indicating either very light usage or recent reactivation. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should still verify a few critical areas in person. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be checked for wear or sagging, as prolonged inactivity can lead to fluid dry-out or rubber degradation even without high mileage. Brakes, including caliper operation and disc thickness, warrant inspection, though the absence of past MOT concerns suggests they may have been well-maintained. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, should be scrutinised, as low-mileage vehicles are often kept in environments prone to moisture without regular movement to prevent rust. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be examined for signs of deterioration, as older vehicles with minimal use can develop leaks or blockages in the catalytic converter or silencer. While the MOT history is flawless, the unusual mileage pattern means some components may not have been exercised under load for extended periods—a factor that could affect long-term reliability if the car is now being driven more regularly.
