2010 Skoda Roomster 1.4L Diesel · CY10 DVP

The Skoda Roomster presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 November 2025 at 136,543 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The November 2025 test came three days after a failure on 21 November 2025 at identical mileage, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either event. This pattern repeats the previous year, where a failure on 25 November 2024 at 130,935 miles was followed by a pass on 27 November 2024 at 130,940 miles, again with no defects logged. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries with blank defect fields suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical condition. The odometer shows 136,543 miles against a 2010 build date, equating to roughly 8,534 miles per year and sitting within typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation has been modest: 125,119 miles in November 2023, 130,940 by November 2024, and 136,543 by November 2025, a steady rise of around 5,400 to 5,800 miles annually. No gaps or sudden mileage jumps appear in the supplied record. The clean advisory history across all five entries indicates no flagged tyre wear, suspension bush degradation, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns were noted by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The repeated fail-then-pass cycles within days at near-static mileage imply the car may have been presented for retest without rectification, or the initial failures stemmed from non-mechanical matters such as lighting aim or documentation. Given the age and 136,543 miles, examine front coil springs, subframe corrosion, and rear trailing arm bushes for fatigue not captured in the MOT data. Verify the brake calipers are free and the exhaust system is sound, as sixteen years of service can conceal binding or internal rot that a pass with no defects will not disclose.
