2014 Skoda Rapid S TDI CR S-A 1.6L Heavy oil · SA64 BLN

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 5 August 2025 at 65,232 miles passed without defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of alternating passes and fails over the past two years, with no defects recorded in any of the failed tests. This suggests a possible intermittent issue that may require further investigation. The vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT pass rate since 2017, with only two failed tests recorded, both in 2017 and 2022. The most recent failed tests in 2022 and 2024 did not record any defects, which is unusual and warrants further scrutiny. The vehicle's mileage pattern is relatively low for its age, averaging approximately 5,436 miles per year. This could indicate lighter use or long periods of inactivity. The most significant mileage gap occurred between the 2017 and 2018 tests, with the vehicle not being tested for over a year. This period of inactivity could have affected the vehicle's maintenance and overall condition. The most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 show a more frequent testing schedule, suggesting a possible increase in usage or a proactive approach to maintenance. Based on the MOT history, a buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and braking systems in person. The 2017 failed test flagged corrosion on both rear brake discs, which could indicate a systemic issue with the braking system or the environment in which the vehicle has been stored. The alternating passes and fails over the past two years suggest that there may be an intermittent issue that requires further investigation. Additionally, the vehicle's low mileage and long periods of inactivity could have affected the condition of various components, including the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. A thorough inspection of these systems is recommended to ensure the vehicle's safety and roadworthiness.
