2012 Skoda Roomster: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 70% pass first time (all 2012 cars: 64%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.1×, individual direction indicators 3.1×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.6× 4,635 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 64% pass first time (all 2012 cars: 64%) Stands out: brake discs 1.8×, individual direction indicators 3.2×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.7× 2,489 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
