2012 Skoda Roomster 1.6L Diesel · SY62 UPT

This 2012 Skoda Roomster presents a clean and stable maintenance record based on the supplied MOT history. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 129,062 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a pattern of fault-free inspections stretching back to 2022. The single failure on 26 September 2023 at 107,866 miles is anomalous, as the record lists no defects for that failure; this likely reflects an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately, rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Overall, the trend is one of consistent roadworthiness with no worsening or recurring problems. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a vehicle of this age. At 129,062 miles over roughly 14 years, the annual average sits at about 9,219 miles, which aligns with normal usage patterns. The recorded increments between tests are uniform: roughly 10,000 miles per year from the September 2022 test at 97,758 miles through to the September 2025 test. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage that suggest periods of extended storage or heavy commercial use. This consistent pattern implies the car was used regularly for commuting or general transport. Given the absence of any advisories or failures across all MOT entries, the history offers no specific mechanical or structural red flags. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on components typical for a car of this age and mileage. Check for corrosion on suspension mounting points, brake pipes, and the floorpan, as these are common on older vehicles. Listen for knocking from suspension bushes or worn coil springs, and test the brakes for binding or uneven wear. The clean record suggests diligent upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains the prudent step to confirm the car’s true condition.
