This 2007 Skoda has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 36,262 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage, raising fraud concerns.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 17,248 miles/year (Sep 2019) to 2,796 miles/year (Oct 2021), then further to 2,375 miles/year (Oct 2022), indicating a potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake failure on 2022-10-01 (MOT 149,271 mi) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (Oct 2022, Oct 2023) and advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2022) — structural neglect.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (12 instances across 5 tests) — consistent wear pattern.
  • Major exhaust emissions failure (Oct 2024, 176,334 mi) — recurring emissions issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-04 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory (9,510 miles/year) — no sudden spikes or drops after 2023.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) — DVLA data only.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) — high safety standard for its age.
