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

This 2003 Skoda has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 39,274 miles. While it has a clean MOT pass history, the vehicle's current status makes it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 39,274 miles over 23 years, averaging 10,945 miles per year, which is consistent with its MOT history.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT certificate as of 2024-04-23, making it unroadworthy.
  • MOT expired 2021-04-23; no subsequent test has been conducted since then.
  • Vehicle is currently Untaxed, indicating no recent road tax payment or compliance.
  • The 2003 Skoda is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across all tests, indicating no dangerous defects.
  • Mileage trajectory is consistent and normal for its age, showing no fraud.
  • Recent MOT pass in Apr 2020 with no failures or major advisories.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests good inherent safety.
