AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Skoda has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, indicating potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 2,570 miles/year, with a critical 10-mile increase between Sep 2023 and Sep 2024, and a 96-mile increase between Sep 2024 and Sep 2025, strongly suggesting odometer tampering.
Things to check
- Four major brake failures (Sep 2021, Sep 2024, Sep 2025) indicate systemic neglect.
- Mileage significantly below average (22,303 miles in 8 years) is highly suspicious.
- Engine/Oil major failure (Sep 2024) is a critical safety defect for a 2017 Skoda.
- Brake disc advisories (Sep 2021) were not addressed, leading to repeated failures.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects recorded on the most recent MOT tests.
- No recurring failures on the same system after the initial brake failures.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2024).
