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

This 2009 Skoda has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 21,675 miles. While many of these were addressed, the consistent advisories and one DANGEROUS brake failure indicate a need for thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal usage, averaging 6,607 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has significantly decreased since 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Jul 2022, Aug 2024, Aug 2025).
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories (e.g., Jul 2019, Aug 2025) and one DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2018).
  • Recurring exhaust and emissions advisories (e.g., Jul 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2024).
  • Recurring handbrake and parking brake advisories (e.g., Jul 2022, Aug 2024, Aug 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 08/11/2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,607 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
