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

This 2009 Skoda has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 48,325 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories indicates a vehicle that requires ongoing maintenance and vigilance.

The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 12,219 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies in the 48,325-mile trajectory.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering advisories across 6 tests (2015, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 5 tests (2015, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) point to consistent component wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (2014, 2015, 2019, 2020, 2021) indicate a history of tyre neglect.
  • The single failure in Feb 2026, though immediately rectified, occurred just before the current MOT expiry date.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
