2015 Skoda Roomster 1.6L Diesel · GF15 KFP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent pass on 17 December 2025 at 96,477 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. The latest test flagged a corroded rear axle and worn rear brake discs, indicating that structural degradation and component wear are accelerating as the vehicle ages. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,771 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage recently, with the odometer climbing from 73,890 miles in March 2024 to 96,477 miles by December 2025. This rapid accumulation of over 22,000 miles in less than two years explains the increased wear on the braking system and the emergence of axle corrosion. A buyer must investigate the rear axle corrosion mentioned in the December 2025 test to determine if it is superficial or structural. The braking system shows a history of neglect and inconsistent repair. The car failed in March 2023 due to an incorrectly mounted rear brake pad lining and previously failed in March 2021 with worn and pitted front discs. The current advisory for worn rear discs suggests a pattern of delaying brake maintenance until the point of failure or advisory. The most concerning aspect of the record is the repeated mention of missing passenger seats and seatbelt stalks from March 2018 through January 2025. This suggests the vehicle may have been used for commercial purposes or as a utility vehicle rather than a standard passenger car. A physical inspection should verify that all seats and safety restraints are now correctly installed and fully functional, as the tester was unable to perform full seatbelt inspections for seven consecutive years.
