AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Skoda has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 17,130 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring advisories and failures suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,813 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (e.g., 3,316 miles in 2022).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (Jan 2013) and advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring exhaust advisories (Mar 2020, Jul 2024, Jul 2025) suggest a persistent issue.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,813 miles/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle is a significant red flag.
- Offside Rear Nail in tyre (Mar 2020) is a high concern for safety and immediate repair.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until August 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
