2012 Skoda Roomster Greenline 1.2L Diesel · SM61 XMA

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 6 May 2025 at 74,626 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed a test just one or two days before a re-test pass, suggesting the previous owner addressed specific defects only when prompted by the tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,626 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,330 miles per year. This low usage typically places less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain. Between April 2023 (58,408 miles) and May 2024 (67,058 miles), the vehicle covered 8,650 miles, followed by another 7,568 miles in the following year. This consistent low annual mileage suggests regular use, though low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake seals, due to lack of movement. The MOT history shows no recorded defects for structural integrity or mechanical failure across the last three years, which is positive for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these often affect older cars regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface pitting and the calipers for seized pistons, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Verify the condition of the tyres for age cracking, as the rubber may perish despite having sufficient tread depth.
