2018 SKODA RAPID1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 28 July 2025 at 84,445 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just three days prior on 25 July 2025 at 84,395 miles, which notably showed no recorded defects. This suggests either an administrative error or a minor sensor discrepancy that was rectified immediately rather than a mechanical failure. Since the January 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failure points. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between January 2022 at 46,831 miles and May 2024 at 68,222 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles in 27 months, indicating steady regular use. The jump of 16,223 miles between the May 2024 and July 2025 tests shows a significant increase in usage during that period, yet the continued lack of defects suggests the drivetrain and suspension components are handling the load without issue. Because the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, brake issues, or recurring mechanical faults, an inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not fully capture. At 84,445 miles, a buyer should verify the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often begin to degrade at this mileage. The brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or deep pitting, despite the MOT history not flagging binding calipers. The overall clean history implies a proactive approach to maintenance by previous owners, but a physical check of fluid levels and tyre age remains necessary to confirm the vehicle's current mechanical condition.
