AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Skoda has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 28,931 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest potential underlying wear and tear.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,933 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over 14 years.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Aug 2024) and advisories (2015, 2016, 2017) indicate chronic wear.
- Brake system failures (Aug 2023) and advisories (Aug 2023, 2024) show a history of neglect.
- Wheel bearing roughness (Aug 2024) and headlamp aim (Sep 2016) point to multiple system weaknesses.
- The 2015-08-21 advisory for worn brake discs and the 2016-09-15 headlamp failure are early signs of maintenance issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-26 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,933 mi/yr) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
