2014 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · FIB 6132

The maintenance trend for this Skoda Roomster remains stable, characterized by a clean bill of health across recent assessments. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 79,180 miles passed without any defects recorded. Curiously, the same date and mileage show a failed test with no defects listed, suggesting an aborted inspection or a dangerous item identified that prevented the test from completing, rather than a standard mechanical failure. Regardless, the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met required standards at that time. The absence of advisories or failures in the preceding years indicates consistent upkeep and no recurring mechanical issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year, which is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between December 2022 at 69,441 miles and December 2023 at 72,588 miles, the odometer advanced by 3,147 miles. The following year, up to November 2024 at 75,531 miles, saw a similar increase of 2,943 miles. The most recent interval, reaching 79,180 miles by December 2025, shows a slightly higher accumulation of 3,649 miles. There are no significant gaps or sudden spikes in usage, pointing to regular, light-to-moderate use rather than prolonged standing or high-mileage commuting. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age. The anomalous failed test on 1 December 2025 at 79,180 miles warrants specific inquiry, as a failure without recorded defects often indicates a dangerous structural issue or fluid leak identified during the pre-check that halted the inspection. A buyer should scrutinize the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounts and sills, as structural rust can develop unnoticed on older vehicles. Inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, checking for uneven wear or binding calipers, alongside the suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. Tyre condition and manufacturing dates should also be verified, as older rubber can perish even with adequate tread depth.
