SKODA OCTAVIA2010 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 153,951 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just four days prior at 153,945 miles. The lack of recorded defects on that specific failure entry suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor-related issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical light-use family car, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. Between April 2023 at 128,385 miles and May 2024 at 138,902 miles, the car covered 10,517 miles, indicating steady usage patterns. The subsequent interval of 7,861 miles between May 2024 and May 2025 maintains this trend. This consistency suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which often helps prevent the seal and brake component issues associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories or structural corrosion, the age and mileage of this Octavia necessitate a physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often perish around the 150,000-mile mark. Given the recent re-test, verifying the braking system for binding or uneven wear on the discs is also advisable to ensure the January failure was not related to a persistent caliper issue.
