2008 Skoda Roomster 1.4L Petrol · CU08 LCK

The Skoda Roomster currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 130,676 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a clean pass. Prior to that, the vehicle held a stable pass trend from March 2023 through March 2025, so the latest outcome breaks an otherwise consistent record and warrants caution rather than outright condemnation. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,260 miles for an 18-year-old vehicle. The records show 106,663 miles in March 2023, rising to 116,471 by March 2024, 125,088 by March 2025, and 130,676 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 9,800, 8,600, and 5,600 miles in the respective intervals, a gentle tapering of use. A failed test on 1 March 2024 at 116,469 miles preceded a pass two days later at 116,471 miles, indicating a quick rectification of whatever halted the first attempt, though the absence of recorded defects leaves the root cause undocumented. The DVSA data flags no advisories across any test, so no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission faults appear in the official history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and the unexplained February 2026 failure. The twin March 2024 tests suggest a minor fault was corrected swiftly, but without defect text the component remains unknown. Given the clean advisory slate until the final fail, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance. The latest failure with zero defects recorded points to a documentation or presentation issue at the testing station, not evidence of neglected consumables. Verify the V5C and test certificate before purchase to confirm the February 2026 result is not a clerical error.
