2014 Skoda Roomster 1.2L Petrol · WF14 YVO

The 2014 Skoda Roomster shows a generally stable maintenance history, though the record indicates a pattern of deferred consumable replacements. The most recent test in May 2025 at 43,857 miles passed with only an advisory for an offside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows a similar trend seen in May 2024 at 41,664 miles, where the tester flagged offside rear brake pads as wearing thin and noted another offside rear tyre. These recurring issues suggest the owner tends to address wear items only when they approach the failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of twelve years, averaging approximately 3,655 miles per year. This low usage often results in less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it can also lead to corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. In April 2022 at 27,498 miles, the vehicle failed due to an inoperative offside number lamp and a significant cut on the nearside front tyre that exposed the cords. Since that failure, the car has passed three consecutive tests without further major defects, indicating that the structural integrity and primary systems remain sound. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake components, as the low mileage can sometimes mask rubber degradation or seized calipers. The frequent previous advisories regarding brake pads and tyres indicate the vehicle is currently at the end of a cycle for several wear items. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or exhaust failures, the age of the Skoda Roomster warrants a close check of the underbody for surface rust that may not have triggered a standard MOT failure yet.
