2006 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Petrol · KW55 ACO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 122,616 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,131 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between the November 2023 test at 106,289 miles and the November 2024 test at 118,729 miles, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. Usage then slowed significantly over the following twelve months, adding only 3,887 miles by the November 2025 inspection. The MOT history is unusually clean for a twenty year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for common age-related issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. The record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day in November 2024 and November 2025. While the specific defects are not listed, this pattern often suggests the failure was due to minor consumables like bulbs or wiper blades that were rectified immediately on site. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Given the age of this Skoda, priority should be given to checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis. You should also verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items that do not appear on an MOT record but are essential for engine longevity at this mileage.
