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 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.
