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

This 2004 Skoda has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 36,699 miles. However, the vehicle's high mileage and lack of recent MOT history require thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows high annual usage of 14,810 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, with a notable spike in 2009-2010.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (14,810 mi/yr) suggests heavy use, potentially leading to accelerated wear.
  • Major suspension failure on 2010-05-19 (nearside rear braking system leaking, nearside front lower suspension arm) indicates past neglect.
  • No valid MOT since 2019-04-22, meaning the vehicle has been off-road for over 5 years, raising safety and legality concerns.
  • The 2019-04-22 retest PASS followed a significant failure, suggesting a borderline pass that may not last long.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • The 2019-04-22 retest PASS after a major failure is a positive sign of the owner's efforts to address issues.
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history, indicating isolated issues.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, suggesting good structural integrity for its age.
