2012 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · MF62 AEM

The Skoda Roomster presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 May 2025 at 58,341 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no advisories or mechanical faults at any stage. A curious anomaly appears on the same date, where the vehicle failed and passed on 16 May 2025 at identical mileage with no defects logged, likely an administrative reversal rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. The odometer reflects low usage for a 2012 vehicle, accumulating just 58,341 miles over roughly fourteen years, an average of 4,167 miles annually. Records show 39,577 miles in August 2021, rising to 42,291 by August 2022, then 45,116 in May 2024 and 58,341 by May 2025. The final year added 13,225 miles, a sharp increase against prior slow accumulation, yet the DVSA data contains a gap between August 2022 and May 2024 where no test is listed. Sparse entries and a clean defect sheet prevent deeper wear analysis, though low standing mileage often masks perished rubber components. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related degradation not captured in these tests. The tester logged no corrosion or structural concerns, but fourteen years of mixed storage demands scrutiny of subframe integrity and exhaust condition. Verify the May 2025 fail-pass pair with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, then commission a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewalls and brake disc wear given the recent mileage surge.
