AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Skoda has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 20,589 miles. The vehicle's age and low annual usage also mean accumulated wear is expected.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,875 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2020 MOT gap is noted.

Things to check

  • May 2023 MOT failure for worn front brake discs (105,510 mi) — indicates immediate repair was needed.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (May 2023) and bodywork advisories (May 2023) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Jan 2021 MOT advisory for worn front tyres (68,709 mi) — indicates a pattern of wear items.
  • May 2013 MOT advisory for deteriorated bonded suspension units (31,168 mi) — a structural concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,875 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
