2014 Skoda Roomster 1.6L Diesel · NU64 AEF

The Skoda Roomster has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past four MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between February 2022 and November 2025. The most recent inspection, carried out on November 18, 2025, at 108,677 miles, confirms the vehicle remains free from major mechanical or structural failings. This pattern suggests the car has been subjected to either rigorous maintenance or has benefitted from favourable usage conditions, as no recurring issues have emerged to warrant advisory or fail categories. However, the absence of any recorded faults does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage progression indicates a steady accumulation of approximately 9,056 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests that would raise concern about prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt spikes that might imply aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The most notable interval is between February 2024 (89,250 miles) and November 2024 (90,854 miles), a gap of just 10 months, which is standard for MOT testing frequency. This consistency reinforces the impression of responsible ownership, though it does not guarantee the absence of hidden wear in high-stress components. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these components are prone to fatigue and deterioration over 12 years and 108,000 miles. The brakes—while not flagged—should be assessed for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, especially if the vehicle has seen mixed driving conditions. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch integrity, warrants close examination, as rust can compromise the subframe or sills without immediately affecting MOT passability. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as catalytic converter failures or cracked pipes often go unnoticed until they escalate. Tyre tread depth and condition, though not MOT-reported here, remain critical given the vehicle’s age.
