Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent test on 07 October 2025 at 108,162 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 108,161 miles. This anomaly likely represents a clerical error or a minor component issue that was immediately rectified before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean MOT record, indicating a consistent level of mechanical oversight by previous owners. The mileage pattern is highly consistent with the age of the fourteen-year-old. With 108,162 miles recorded, the car averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which sits within the typical range for domestic use. The data shows steady accumulation, such as the 4,835 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,768 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods ofo, which often leads to seal degradation and fuel contamination. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and the subframe for corrosion, as these are the first areas to degrade on older Skoda models. Examine the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning and check for seized calipers, as the record does not flag past binding issues. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a tactile check of the structural integrity around the sills remains necessary.

Our Verdict

A sensible choice for those seeking a practical diesel MPV with a consistent MOT record. While it has seen significant use, the recent lack of defects is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.

When viewing this blue Roomster, check the service history to see how the 1598cc diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding oil change intervals which are crucial for high-mileage diesel units. Given the mileage is over 100,000, ask if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced recently.

Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements that naturally arise at this mileage, such as suspension components or clutch wear. Ensure all electrical features, common in Skoda models, are functioning correctly before committing to the purchase.

The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it relatively economical for long-distance driving. You should expect competitive fuel economy figures typical of this engine class, though actual costs will depend on your driving style.

Insurance groups for the Roomster are generally moderate, and tax bands will be determined by the specific CO2 emissions of this 2012 model. Budget for regular diesel filter cleaning and standard maintenance, with an estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,400 including fuel and basic servicing.

Review the MOT history carefully; although the 2025 failure recorded at 108,161 miles listed no specific defects, it is worth asking the seller what the specific issue was that caused the fail the day prior to the pass. This ensures the repair was documented.

Inspect the diesel exhaust system and EGR valve area, as these can be points of interest on high-mileage Skoda diesels. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items that contribute to MOT advisories in many vehicles of this age.

This 2012 Skoda Roomster is a 1.6L diesel model that has covered 108,162 miles since its first registration in March 2012. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent test in October 2025 showing no defects. The vehicle has maintained a steady mileage progression, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year.

Specific aggregate reliability data for the Skoda Roomster is currently unavailable for this analysis.
