2014 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · GC14 OBO

The 2014 Skoda Rapid remains fully roadworthy according to the DVSA record. The most recent MOT on 11 July 2025, at 120 481 miles, passed with no defects noted, and the vehicle has consistently passed each annual test since 2021. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no emerging issues recorded over the last five years. Mileage analysis shows an average of roughly 10 040 miles per year over the 11‑year period, which aligns with typical usage for a car of this age. The annual tests are spaced about a year apart, and the mileage increments between tests are steady—12 759 miles from 2021 to 2022, 10 136 miles from 2022 to 2023, 13 010 miles from 2023 to 2024, and 11 759 miles from 2024 to 2025—indicating no sudden spikes or gaps that would suggest neglect or heavy use. When inspecting the vehicle in person, focus on components that normally wear between tests: brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or glazing, tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or compression, and steering linkages for play or rust. Verify the battery’s condition and the coolant level, inspect the exhaust for leaks or corrosion, and check the engine oil for colour and level. Although the MOT history shows no structural rust or major faults, a thorough visual and functional check of the chassis, wheel arches, and underbody will confirm that no hidden damage has developed since the last test.
