2004 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · AE54 AKG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 98,875 miles with some advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. However, a closer examination of the history reveals that the vehicle has been experiencing recurring issues with its brake discs, suspension arm pins or bushes, and brake hoses, which may require closer inspection. The recorded mileage of 98,875 miles over 22 years equates to approximately 4,494 miles per year, which is relatively low for its age. Notable gaps in the mileage record suggest periods of inactivity, while the steady accumulation of mileage over the past few years implies consistent use. The most significant increase in mileage occurred between 2012 and 2015, with a jump of around 15,000 miles in just three years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brake system, paying particular attention to the brake discs and hoses, as these have been flagged as slightly deteriorated in multiple tests. The suspension system, particularly the front suspension arm pins or bushes, should also be examined for signs of wear. Additionally, the rear sub-frame has been reported as corroded, although not seriously weakened, and this should be checked for any signs of further deterioration.
