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

This 2011 Skoda has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 117,000 miles. While many failures were rectified, the high mileage and repeated advisories for critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual mileage (33,097 miles/yr) until Oct 2020, then a suspiciously low 250 miles/yr equivalent before Oct 2020, indicating a significant change in usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Jul 2018, Jul 2019, Oct 2022).
  • Recurring suspension component failures and advisories (e.g., Oct 2015, Oct 2021).
  • High mileage (389,549 miles) for a 2011 vehicle suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (250 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Oct 2020, a significant anomaly.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component lifespan.
  • Most MOT failures were immediately rectified, indicating responsive owner repairs.
