2022 Skoda Scala 1.0L Petrol · MJ22 AEK

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent MOT test on 20 January 2026 with 13,681 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car showed no mechanical or structural advisories during the latest inspection. The failure recorded on that same day was a minor adjustment issue regarding headlamp aim on both front units, which was rectified immediately to achieve a passing re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,420 miles per annum. Between the test in May 2025 at 11,982 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered only 1,699 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle is likely used for short urban trips or kept for extended periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, low mileage use can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or brake disc corrosion if the car is not driven regularly. A buyer should verify in person that the headlamp alignment remains correct to ensure the previous fault was properly addressed. Since the MOT history shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust corrosion, the inspection should focus on checking for signs of age-related degradation. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and ensure the brake discs are free of heavy surface rust, which is common in vehicles that sit stationary for long intervals.
