2016 SKODA OCTAVIA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a strong history of roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 30 June 2025 at 72,469 miles resulting in a pass. While the record is largely clean, the appearance of cracked rear tyres in the latest inspection indicates a shift from the previous trend of faultless tests. This suggests that while mechanical integrity remains high, the attention to consumable components has recently lapsed, marking a slight decline in the standard of preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 72,469 over a ten-year period averages out to approximately 7,250 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical domestic usage for this model. The progression is steady and logical, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic spikes in usage. The consistency of the annual testing schedule from 2021 through 2025 demonstrates that the vehicle has been subjected to regular, predictable inspections, providing a reliable baseline for its mechanical history. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear tyre sidewalls to confirm if these were replaced following the 2025 advisory. Because the MOT history shows four consecutive years of clean passes prior to the recent tyre issue, the underlying chassis and suspension components appear to have been well-preserved. You should still verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables often require attention at this mileage interval. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perishing or corrosion that might have been overlooked in previous inspections, ensuring the vehicle remains as sound as the test records suggest.
