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 19,322 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the persistent safety-critical failures make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,213 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a 2019 MOT gap is concerning.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (Feb 2021) and brakes (Feb 2022) repeatedly failed, indicating chronic neglect.
- Recurring Suspension Arm failures (Feb 2021, Feb 2025) and advisories (7 related) show systemic weakness.
- 2019 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 2019, suggesting potential off-road use or unverified history.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2024) contradicts the dangerous MOT defects and recurring failures.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-28, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,213 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
