2014 Skoda Octavia SE TDI CR 1.6L Diesel · JIW 2100

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass across five consecutive MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 August 2025 at 182,957 miles returned no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This consistent history of passes suggests that the previous owners addressed potential issues before they resulted in failures, maintaining a reliable level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 15,246 miles per year over its twelve-year life. A significant surge is visible between September 2019 and April 2022, where the vehicle covered 44,116 miles in just under three years. Since then, the accumulation has remained rapid, with over 25,000 miles recorded between the April 2022 test and another 25,669 miles before the August 2024 test. This high annual mileage typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components compared to average examples. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or faults, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to high-mileage wear. The buyer should scrutinize the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as the constant load often degrades rubber components over time. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for potential binding is essential. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for corrosion on the underbody to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
