2013 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · FH13 EMJ

The 2013 Skoda Roomster presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 3 June 2025 at 55,465 miles. No defects were recorded during this most recent assessment, nor in any of the preceding four annual tests. This unblemished record indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard, with no recurring faults or emerging issues flagged by the testing stations. At thirteen years old with 55,465 miles recorded, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 4,267 miles per year, which is notably low for its age. The annual mileage accumulation remained steady between 2021 and 2024, rising incrementally from 35,116 miles to 48,889 miles. A more pronounced jump of 6,576 miles occurred between the June 2024 test and the June 2025 test, suggesting a recent increase in usage or a correction of previously limited running. Such low annual mileage often points to short-trip driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can cause specific age-related deterioration despite the low distance covered. While the MOT history shows zero mechanical failures, the low-mileage profile demands a focused physical inspection of components that degrade with age rather than use. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing and corrosion, as short journeys accelerate rubber deterioration and surface rust. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion caused by standing, a common issue on lightly used vehicles. Check the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for corrosion, and assess the condition of the tyres for date-code cracking, as older rubber hardens and loses grip regardless of tread depth.
