2010 Skoda Roomster 1.9L Diesel · AV10 AVD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection in February 2024 at 59,764 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories. This clean record mirrors the 2022 and 2023 tests, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Roomster, averaging approximately 3,735 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the car covered 2,726 miles, followed by just 1,575 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2024 test. This low usage suggests short-distance trips, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such infrequent use can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Check for cracking in suspension bushes, perished brake lines, and seizing of brake calipers which can occur when vehicles are not regularly exercised. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, the chassis should be inspected for surface rust or hidden corrosion, as age affects the metal regardless of the miles driven. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or dry rot, as low tread depth often masks age-related rubber failure.
