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

This 2003 Skoda has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 8,954 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,158 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2009 MOT gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Dec 2008, Jan 2013) and advisories (Jan 2016) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake failures (Dec 2008, Jan 2013) and advisories (Jan 2016) point to systemic wear.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Jan 2013) and advisories (Jan 2011, Jan 2016) suggest poor maintenance.
  • The 2009 MOT gap (SORN status) raises questions about the vehicle's history and maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 23 years, averaging 9,158 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
