SKODA OCTAVIA2015 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. It passed its latest MOT test on 26 July 2025 at 100,655 miles with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed, and the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,150 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 72,950 miles and the 2025 test at 100,655 miles, the car covered 27,705 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of neglect or excessive mileage. The intervals between tests remain strictly annual, reflecting a consistent ownership history that has maintained the vehicle within the standard regulatory testing schedule. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension due to recurring issues with shock absorbers. In the 2024 test at 89,837 miles, both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers showed light misting of oil. While these did not cause a failure, they represent the beginning of seal failure. A buyer should verify that the misting has not progressed to a significant leak which would require replacement of the units. Additionally, the offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot failed in 2021 at 41,217 miles; the checking should check for grease leakage or rubber tearing to ensure the repair was effective and remains durable.
