2007 Skoda Roomster 1.9L Diesel · AD07 LCN

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile, characterized by a trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While the Roomster passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 116,395 miles, this followed a significant failure involving multiple safety defects across lighting, suspension, and braking. The recurring nature of advisories regarding brake discs and tyres suggests that components are only addressed when they reach a critical failure point rather than being replaced during service intervals. At approximately 19 years old, the recorded 116,395 miles represent an average usage of roughly 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-mileage patterns. However, the mileage accumulation has been steady, with over 9,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 8,300 miles in the following year. This consistent use, combined with the age, places significant stress on rubber and metal components, which is evident in the inspection history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows a persistent issue with pitted and scored brake discs on both axles, along with documented instances of binding brakes and imbalanced performance. Furthermore, the failure of multiple coil springs in 2025 indicates potential fatigue in the suspension components, which should be checked for further signs of excessive play or worn bushings. Additionally, the recurring reports of tyres reaching the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear suggest possible wheel alignment issues or incorrect tyre pressures that have not been fully rectified. The repeated failures regarding the deterioration of registration plates and lighting enough further highlight a general lack of detailed upkeep. Close attention should be paid to the condition of the rear brake hoses and the overall integrity of the carbody to ensure no structural corrosion has developed alongside these mechanical failings.
