2014 Skoda Octavia SE Business TDI CR 1.6L Diesel · AVI 7655

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test in April 2026 at 112,669 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in April 2025, the subsequent re-test just one week later suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year over the twelve-year period. Data shows a steady accumulation of miles, moving from 72,501 miles in April 2023 to 82,246 miles in March 2024, and then a more significant jump to 93,360 miles by April 2025. This regular usage is generally beneficial for diesel components and braking systems, as it prevents the seal drying and component degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean results of the most recent inspections, a buyer should focus on inspecting high-wear items associated with the 112,000-mile mark. This includes the condition of the suspension bushes, control arm ball, and shock absorbers, which often degrade at this mileage interval. Although the MOT record does not flag recurring structural issues, a physical check of the underbody for surface corrosion on the exhaust system remains necessary to ensure the long-term integrity of the chassis remains sound.
