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 19 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 17,565 miles. While many issues were resolved, the consistent need for repairs suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,761 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,618 miles between Jun 2020 and Jun 2021).
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc wear and corrosion (flagged in 7 tests from 2020 to 2025).
- Persistent headlamp issues (5 tests from 2015 to 2026), indicating electrical system weakness.
- Multiple tyre failures and advisories (3 tests from 2015 to 2026), suggesting poor wheel alignment or driving conditions.
- Recurring seatbelt damage (4 tests from 2015 to 2026), a common issue on older vehicles.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-25, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,761 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided history.
- All major failures (brakes, handbrake, windscreen) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
