2012 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · MF62 ACO

The 2012 Skoda Roomster shows a roadworthy status following the 2 October 2025 MOT pass at 67,579 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records stays stable with zero recorded defects. The DVSA log lists a fail on 1 October 2025 at the identical 67,579 miles with no defects noted, reversed by a pass one day later. That sequence suggests an administrative or undocumented correction rather than mechanical deterioration. Prior tests on 27 September 2024 at 64,751 miles, 27 September 2023 at 61,952 miles, and 19 October 2022 at 58,516 miles all passed cleanly. Mileage sits low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. From the 19 October 2022 test at 58,516 miles to the 2 October 2025 test at 67,579 miles, the odometer advanced just 9,063 miles, an average below 3,021 miles annually. The 2023 and 2024 tests each recorded roughly 2,800-mile yearly use. Such light running implies the Roomster spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can mask age-related degradation despite spotless MOT outcomes. The MOT record shows no recurring faults or advisories, so the buyer faces no flagged suspension or brake concerns from the tester. Still, the age and low-use profile require the buyer to examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends for cracking or stiffness after standing. The buyer should measure brake discs for corrosion pitting and lip wear, and confirm calipers spin free without binding. The buyer must inspect sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points for hidden rust on a lift, as the MOT examinations recorded no corrosion but may not have probed concealed sections. Exhaust emissions met limits each time, yet rubber hoses and coolant lines require visual scrutiny for weathering. The previous keeper maintained statutory compliance, but mechanical longevity now hinges on components the paper trail never faulted.
