This 2007 Skoda has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 15,644 miles. However, a significant mileage discrepancy on 13 Nov 2014 and a history of recurring tyre and suspension issues warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows high annual usage (30,314 mi/yr), but a critical 45,000-mile discrepancy on 13 Nov 2014 (238,614 mi retest after 283,614 mi failure) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 45,000-mile reduction on 13 Nov 2014 (238,614 mi retest after 283,614 mi failure) — potential odometer fraud.
  • High annual mileage: 30,314 miles/year is 3.75 times UK average, indicating heavy commercial or high-mileage use.
  • Recurring tyre failures: Multiple tyre failures (Nov 2009, Nov 2010, Nov 2012) and advisories (Nov 2013) suggest chronic wear or alignment issues.
  • Recurring suspension issues: Offside Front Suspension arm excessive play (Nov 2010) and exhaust/suspension arm advisories (Nov 2012) indicate ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Immediate retest passes: All 4 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same day, indicating responsive ownership and quick repairs.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory: Despite high annual usage, the mileage has consistently increased over time, showing no signs of tampering.
  • No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Nov 2014) passed despite the mileage anomaly, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating: The 2007 Skoda has a strong safety record, which is a significant positive for a 19-year-old vehicle.
