2021 Skoda Scala 1.0L Petrol · KT21 RYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass on 12 May 2026 at 29,386 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the mechanical and structural defects identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows specific areas of concern, the lack of recent defects suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,877 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 5,955 miles in May 2023 to 15,550 miles in June 2024, and reaching 22,660 miles by May 2025. This low-frequency usage generally reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components, though it also explains the presence of rubber-based components failing due to age rather than mileage-related friction. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front body structure. The MOT record on 28 May 2025 specifically flagged a deformation to the sill, although the tester noted that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced. Any repairs to this area should be scrutinized for signs of poor welding or hidden corrosion to ensure lasting integrity. Additionally, the recurring history of cracking and perishing tyres in 2024 and 2025 suggests the rubber compounds are prone to age-related degradation; current tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking to ensure they are not aged out and at risk of sudden failure despite having sufficient tread depth.
