This 2008 Skoda has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 6,035 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual usage (2,598 miles/yr) raises significant mileage integrity concerns.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 2,598 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of only 6,035 miles recorded at its first MOT in 2011, despite being registered in 2008.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 45,543 mi total — bottom 10% of similar SKODAs of this age (typical: 95,117 mi, n=1664 vehicles).
- Recurring suspension arm ball joint wear: ADVISORY on Jun 2020, MAJOR on Jul 2025 — escalating safety concern.
- Recurring brake disc wear: ADVISORY on Jun 2019, Jun 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2023, Jul 2024, Jul 2025 — consistent wear pattern.
- Recurring exhaust corrosion: ADVISORY on 6+ separate tests — persistent issue across multiple years.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-02 — no immediate retest required.
- No recent MOT failures — last failure was in July 2025, which was immediately rectified.
- Consistent annual mileage: 2,598 miles/year — no sudden spikes or drops.
