2013 Skoda Roomster 1.6L Diesel · CV13 HWH

The 2013 Skoda Roomster presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 19 August 2025 at 119,128 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards on that date. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories or failures, suggesting the previous owner addressed any immediate mechanical or structural concerns promptly. The trend is firmly stable, with no recurring faults undermining the vehicle's current roadworthiness. Evaluating the mileage accumulation relative to its age reveals a typical usage pattern for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. Between the August 2022 test at 88,138 miles and the August 2023 test at 97,533 miles, the car covered 9,395 miles. The subsequent year saw a similar accumulation of 9,720 miles, reaching 107,253 miles by August 2024. The most recent twelve-month interval shows a slightly higher accumulation of 11,875 miles, bringing the total to 119,128 miles. This uptick indicates a recent increase in usage, though the annual average remains around the typical 9,000 to 12,000 miles per year, ruling out prolonged standing or excessively high motorway mileage. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude the onset of wear in consumable components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres, brake discs, and pads, as these degrade naturally over time and mileage regardless of the previous year's pass status. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant attention, looking for signs of perishing or corrosion typical of a thirteen-year-old chassis. Regarding the 2022 test, the record shows a failure at 88,138 miles with no defects recorded—likely an administrative anomaly or an aborted test—but the immediate retest passed cleanly on the same day. Buyers should still inspect the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for any corrosion, as well as checking the exhaust system for leaks. The clean MOT history implies diligent upkeep, but verifying the current state of these mechanical components will confirm whether that standard has been maintained up to the present day.
