2011 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · NX11 AKV

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 February 2026 at 119,394 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle cleared every test from February 2024 through February 2026 without a single advisory or fault noted, indicating consistent baseline compliance with roadworthiness standards across the period. The recorded mileage shows a steady, typical accumulation for a 15-year-old vehicle. The February 2024 pass at 109,350 miles, February 2025 pass at 114,260 miles, and February 2026 pass at 119,394 miles reflect an average annual increase of roughly 5,000 miles, below the 7,960 miles-per-year norm implied by the total. Two failed tests on 30 January 2024 (109,325 miles) and 4 February 2025 (114,192 miles) were logged with no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The clean defect history across all subsequent tests points to an owner conducting timely annual testing. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity, as the MOT record omits advisories that often precede failure on high-mileage vehicles of this era. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission flags in the data is reassuring, yet DVSA tests capture only test-day condition. Verify the actual reason for the two zero-defect failures with the test centres, since unexplained rejection entries warrant clarification before purchase.
