2017 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · D5 DPJ

The Skoda Rapid presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 48,907 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean results. Annual mileage has been consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 32,513 miles at the 12 May 2022 test, rising to 39,550 by 20 May 2023, 44,384 by 20 May 2024, and 48,907 by the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 5,400 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA history contains no advisories, failures, or flagged wear across any entry, which suggests the previous keeper kept the car lightly used and serviced to MOT standard. Given the clean sheet, no recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as the low mileage and possible periods of standing can mask perished rubber components or surface rust not caught in a pass result. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and confirm the vehicle has not been idle for extended spells, since standing vehicles often develop flat-spotted tyres or seized calipers absent from MOT advisories.
