2014 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · GC14 NAA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 at 99,868 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets all legal safety requirements. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,322 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 85,624 miles and the August 2025 test at 99,868 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 7,122 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden mechanical deterioration. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same day in August 2023 and August 2024. While the specific failure reasons are not listed in the provided data, these same-day resolutions typically indicate the rectification of minor consumables or simple electrical faults. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across multiple years is a positive indicator of the chassis condition. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the brake pads and tyre treads, as these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. Given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recorded advisories, checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay or seepage from the shock absorbers would be prudent to ensure the absence of wear that does not trigger an MOT failure.
