2017 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · GD17 AZZ

The vehicle currently stands on the verge of roadworthiness, with the latest MOT test on 2026-06-18 showing a score of 61,949 miles. This date is approximately 3.5 years prior to today, placing the most recent inspection in the 2025-03-05 test window where the vehicle was tested at 51,256 miles. The test passed with no critical faults, though it failed specifically on the windscreen washer jets, a component that was not inspected during the 2025-03-05 test. Since the 2025-03-05 test occurred roughly 1.5 years ago, the failure of the washer jets suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, and the vehicle may be prone to similar issues in the future. The mileage pattern indicates a significant gap between the 2025-03-05 test and the current date. The vehicle has only been tested once at 51,256 miles on 2025-03-05, with no further records available since then. This sparse test record suggests that the owner may have been unable to obtain a MOT due to a delay in obtaining a certificate or a lack of available vehicles, rather than a deliberate attempt to avoid testing. The absence of a subsequent MOT means there is no data to support a claim that the vehicle is currently in a state of maintenance that would warrant a specific recommendation based on a single test. Given the lack of further MOT data, the most critical assessment is the history of the windscreen washer jets. The 2025-03-05 test failure, which occurred 1.5 years ago, is the primary indicator of an ongoing risk. The mechanic must inspect the vehicle in person to determine if the washer jets are still properly aligned and functioning. If the jets are still working, the vehicle is likely roadworthy; however, if they are not, the risk of windscreen failure is high. Additionally, the 2025-03-05 test failure on the windscreen washer jets is the only fault recorded. While the 2026-06-18 test passed, the 2025-03-05 test failed, creating a gap of 1.5 years. The vehicle's structural integrity and mechanical components remain the primary concerns, with the washer jets being the most likely culprit for future failure.
