2009 Skoda Roomster 1.9L Diesel · AF09 VGX

The 2009 Skoda Roomster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2025 returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. This consistent pass history indicates the vehicle has not exhibited worsening mechanical or structural faults across the inspected period. Annual tests from April 2022 to April 2025 show recorded mileages of 61,391, 65,118, 68,859 and an unrecorded figure at the final test. The three documented years reveal an average annual accumulation of roughly 3,700 miles, a low figure for a sixteen-year-old vehicle and consistent with gentle use. No gaps exist between tests and the clean records give no cause to suspect deferred maintenance, though the missing 2025 mileage prevents a full consumption-rate calculation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free history. The MOT examiner recorded no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or corrosion, yet a car of this age commonly develops sub-test-threshold wear in those areas. Check the subframe and sills for structural rust and confirm the rear trailing arm bushes remain free of play. Given the sparse defect data, previous owners appear to have kept the Roomster to a basic statutory standard with no flagged neglect. The low mileage and clean tests suggest careful local use, but a pre-purchase examination of tyre sidewalls, exhaust emissions under load and handbrake efficiency remains prudent before completion.
