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

This 2012 Skoda has 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 25,179 miles. The vehicle's safety and maintenance record are fundamentally compromised.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 48 miles in the first 4 years (Jan 2012 to Feb 2016), followed by a significant increase in annual usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2025): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-09-25 (120,292 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-09-24 (63,998 mi) — repeated safety concern.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (4), suspension (3), steering (2), and lights (2) across 14 tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-01, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,763 miles/year since 2016, aligning with UK average.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for 2012 vehicle).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests good inherent safety features.
