2007 Skoda Roomster 1.9L Diesel · AV07 TXM

The 2007 Skoda Roomster presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 16 June 2025 at 191,855 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet extends a pattern of consistent, defect-free testing over the last three years, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets the UK roadworthiness threshold without requiring remedial work at its annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between the June 2023 pass at 180,911 miles and the June 2025 pass at 191,855 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 10,944 miles over two years, averaging just under 5,500 miles annually. This is a moderate pace, suggesting regular use without excessive strain on mechanical components. The record shows no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in odometer readings, and the two failed tests in 2023 and 2024 both list no defects, indicating administrative or procedural retests rather than mechanical failures. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. At 191,855 miles, consumable components such as tyres, brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes are likely approaching replacement intervals regardless of test outcomes. The underbody and sills should be examined for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and drain holes, as structural integrity can deteriorate without triggering an MOT failure until advanced. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for condition and emissions compliance, especially given the vehicle's age. A test drive is essential to identify issues not always captured in static inspections. Listen for knocking from suspension joints over rough surfaces, feel for binding or uneven braking, and monitor the clutch and gearbox for smooth operation. The absence of recorded defects is encouraging, but it does not guarantee the absence of wear. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains the most reliable way to assess the vehicle's true mechanical condition before committing to ownership.
