2012 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · LD62 ORJ

This 2012 Skoda Roomster presents a remarkably clean MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 24 September 2025 at 51,526 miles, passed with zero defects. This perfect result is not an isolated event but the culmination of a stable, improving maintenance trend. The vehicle has passed its last five consecutive MOTs, from September 2021 through September 2025, without a single advisory or failure recorded, indicating a high level of consistent mechanical care. The mileage accumulation pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Covering just 4,288 miles over the five-year period from September 2021 (47,238 miles) to September 2025 (51,526 miles) equates to roughly 857 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, likely for short, local journeys. While this low mileage minimises wear on major mechanical components, it raises a question about the potential for deterioration from prolonged inactivity, such as perished rubber seals or sticking brake components, though the clean MOT record currently counters these concerns. Given the absence of any flagged defects in the official record, a buyer's in-person inspection should focus on verifying the vehicle's long-term condition beyond the MOT's scope. A thorough underbody examination is prudent to check for any surface corrosion that may not yet constitute a failure but could indicate exposure to harsh conditions or standing. Test the vehicle's operation from cold to identify any stiff or sticking brakes, a common issue on vehicles used infinally. Finally, inspect all rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, for age-related cracking, as the low annual mileage means deterioration is more likely driven by time than by wear.
