2017 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · BF17 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 with 82,899 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a consistent level of upkeep, as the record shows no recorded defects across the last three passing tests. While the vehicle experienced failures in 2025 and 2026, the lack of subsequent advisory notes suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate issues to maintain legal compliance with safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 62,198 miles and April 2025 at 75,124 miles, the car covered 13,026 miles, followed by roughly 7,775 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle is driven consistently, which helps prevent the degradation of components like brake seals often associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean history of passes, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear and tear items not covered by the MOT test. At 82,899 miles, the buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often fatigue at this age. The brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, and the undercarriage should be inspected for developing surface corrosion, particularly around the mounting points, despite the lack of structural failures to date.
