2016 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · ML16 ACF

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 78,199 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes over several years, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy state without the need for reactive, last-minute repairs. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the odometer rose from 47,410 to 78,199 miles, averaging roughly 10,263 miles per year over the last three years. This is a slight increase from the overall lifetime average of 7,820 miles per year, but it reflects regular, consistent use rather than erratic patterns or long periods of standing. The record shows a single failure on 22 February 2023 at 47,410 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day. Since the DVSA record lists no specific defects for that failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a trivial item resolved instantly. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on general wear and tear items that do not always trigger MOT failures. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the health of the brake pads, as these are consumables that may be due for replacement given the 11,493 miles covered since the February 2025 test. Inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust, though the lack of structural advisories in the MOT history suggests the vehicle has been well-protected.
