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

This 2016 Skoda has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 48,455 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent advisories for brakes and lights suggest a need for ongoing maintenance.

The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 11,858 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 6,225 miles in the last 12 months.

Things to check

  • Major engine failure recorded on 2020-03-12 (59,370 miles) — critical for a 2016 diesel.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 4 separate tests (Oct 2022, Nov 2023, Nov 2024, Nov 2025) — indicates ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre condition advisories across 3 separate tests (Oct 2020, Oct 2021, Nov 2024) — suggests a history of poor maintenance.
  • Recurring suspension component advisories across 2 separate tests (Nov 2021, Nov 2024) — indicates ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (11,858 miles/year) — no odometer fraud indicators.
