2018 Skoda Rapid 1.0L Petrol · VE67 TXU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 89,525 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just three miles prior. This suggests a minor administrative or superficial issue, such as a blown bulb or wiper fluid, which was rectified immediately. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates a high standard of mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 64,191 miles and the January 2025 test at 76,355 miles, the car covered 12,164 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 13,170 miles covered before the 2026 test. This regular usage pattern prevents engine degradation and keeps the drivetrain components active without exceeding typical wear thresholds for a Skoda Rapid. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components that are not tested during the annual check. Given the approaching 90,000-mile mark, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing rubber. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or thinness, as the MOT test does not account for binding calipers or pad thickness. The absence of structural corrosion notes in previous years suggests the chassis remains sound, but checking the underbody for emerging surface rust is always prudent.
