2010 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · RF59 BBU

This Skoda Roomster has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over the past two years, with the most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 50,417 miles resulting in a clean pass and no advisories. The absence of defects across five consecutive tests—spanning February 2024 to February 2026—indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the record does not reveal whether any pre-MOT servicing or owner-reported issues were addressed. The lack of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has not suffered from persistent mechanical failures, but the sparse data means no long-term wear patterns can be confirmed. Buyers should note that the February 2025 entry includes a duplicate pass/fail date, which may indicate a clerical error or duplicate entry rather than a genuine retest. The recorded mileage of 50,417 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 3,151 miles per annum, a figure significantly lower than the average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could impact components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of motion-induced lubrication. The most notable mileage gap occurs between the February 2024 (44,053 miles) and February 2025 (45,988 miles) tests, covering just 1,935 miles in a year—a pattern that repeats between 2025 and 2026. While this could imply careful storage, it also raises questions about whether critical components like tyres, brake pads, or fluid systems were serviced regularly during these low-mileage periods. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on wear items that degrade even with low mileage: the suspension system, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, for signs of cracking or perished rubber; brake discs and calipers, as binding or uneven wear could develop without consistent use; and the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, especially around flanges. The absence of advisories does not preclude hidden corrosion—structural areas such as wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts should be scrutinised for pitting or thinning metal, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Tyre tread depth and uniformity warrant immediate attention, as the lack of failures does not guarantee they have been rotated or replaced at appropriate intervals. Finally, fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be checked, as neglect in low-mileage scenarios can lead to contamination or degradation.
