This 2002 Skoda has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 32,992 miles. The mileage trajectory also shows a significant decrease, raising serious odometer fraud concerns.

The mileage decreased from 48,712 miles in Feb 2008 to 43,431 miles in Feb 2009, indicating a possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2008 (48,712 mi) and Feb 2009 (43,431 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Dangerous brake imbalance failure on 2008-02-14 (48,712 mi) — safety-critical.
  • Major headlamp aim failures on 2006-09-08 (32,992 mi) — recurring electrical issues.
  • Major suspension arm bush failure on 2006-09-08 (32,992 mi) — structural integrity concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) — indicates strong safety features for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 4,296 miles/year — suggests low wear and tear.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since Feb 2020 — owner appears to have addressed immediate issues.
  • The 2002 Skoda has a 24-year history, which naturally accumulates wear and tear.
