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

This 2012 Skoda has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 14,289 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low annual mileage and repeated tyre/wiper issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 3,913 miles/year, with a significant 2,677-mile jump in 2019 and subsequent very low usage, including only 31 miles in the 12 months before the May 2025 MOT.

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, averaging only 3,913 miles/year, with a 2,677-mile jump in 2019.
  • Two major failures for windscreen wipers (Dec 2021, Dec 2024) and four recurring tyre advisories (2015, 2016, 2017, 2021) indicate persistent wear items.
  • The vehicle has been driven very infrequently since 2019, suggesting potential battery degradation or fluid issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No structural failures or major mechanical defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual MOT testing since 2015, showing regular vehicle checks.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests good overall safety features.
