2008 Skoda Roomster 1.6L Petrol · NV08 KPF

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 23 July 2026 at 40,426 miles resulted in no defects recorded, maintaining a five-year clean sheet following a mechanical failure in 2021. This suggests the current owner is addressing identifying faults as they arise, and the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable safety parameters without immediate concerns. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,246 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval progression from 21,278 miles in June 2016 to 40,426 miles in July 2026. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use invites age-related degradation of rubber-based parts, which is evident in the historical records regarding tyres and bushings. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and rubberwork due to a history of recurring issues. The tester previously flagged multiple broken and corroded coil springs in 2016 and 2021, alongside worn suspension arm bushes in 2018. Because the car sits intermittently, the buyer must check for sidewall cracking and perishing on the tyres, as the record shows patterns of deteriorating rubber in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Additionally, verify the exhaust flexi-joint which was noted as deteriorating in 2017 to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to a structural failure.
