2017 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · AY66 AGV

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 112,961 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. The vehicle has covered roughly 12,551 miles per year since its 2017 registration, placing it above average use for its age. Annual increments stayed consistent: 70,920 miles in January 2022, 80,755 in February 2023, 90,584 in January 2024, 100,821 in January 2025, and 112,961 by December 2025. The record shows no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, and the absence of any advisories across five tests suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each examination. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. At 112,961 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper mounts will have absorbed nine years of load cycles and warrant hands-on checks for play or cracking. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and binding, given the mileage. Structural corrosion remains the chief unseen risk on a high-mileage estate of this era. Examine sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for rust penetration. The DVSA record implies disciplined upkeep, but confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody integrity before purchase.
