2014 Skoda Roomster 1.6L Diesel · BN14 XCJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 20 June 2025 at 102,438 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a period of three clean passes since a failure in 2022, suggesting that once the initial issue was addressed, the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical safety failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between July 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 10,937 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, as the vehicle has undergone annual inspections within the required intervals. This consistent mileage suggests the car has been used regularly, which typically helps prevent the accelerated degradation of rubber components, seals, and de-corded brake surfaces often seen with long periods of inactivity. Despite the recent clean records, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this model at this mileage. The failure in July 2022 at 83,178 miles followed immediately by a pass just two days later indicates a specific fault was identified and rectified quickly. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue around the 100,000-mile mark. Additionally, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe is prudent to ensure the chassis integrity remains sound beyond the recent MOT test results.
