2014 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · DF63 YGA

The 2026‑02‑17 MOT at 68,417 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. Since the 2025 test at 64,215 miles, which flagged slight play in the offside front inner drag‑link ball joint and near‑side rear brake binding, the condition has not worsened; the latest result shows no new faults and mirrors the clean outcomes of earlier examinations. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual increase of roughly 5,700 miles, indicating light use or extended periods of standing. From the 2020 test at 36,171 miles to the 2026 test at 68,417 miles, the odometer rose by 32,246 miles over six years, averaging just over 5,300 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps between consecutive tests and a consistent yearly increment. Recurring observations include a 2.1 mm play in the offside front drag‑link ball joint and near‑side rear brake binding noted in the 2025 test, as well as tyre perishing on the near‑side rear tyre in 2025 and worn‑edge tyres in 2019. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and ball joints for wear, test the brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven pad wear, and verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. Further inspection should cover structural integrity, checking the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion or impact damage, and confirm that fluid levels and leaks are within normal limits, as no structural advisories have appeared in the record.
