2020 Skoda Octavia SE L First ED TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · PK70 ADU

The Skoda Octavia shows a stable roadworthiness trend with three successive MOT passes and zero recorded defects. In the most recent examination on 2 October 2025 at 36,375 miles, the tester issued a clean certificate with no advisories. Earlier, the 4 October 2024 test at 29,929 miles and the 7 October 2023 test at 26,426 miles also returned passes without fault. This unbroken record points to consistent maintenance and no escalation of mechanical or structural concerns. The car is circa six years old with 36,375 recorded miles, averaging 6,062 miles per year, a figure in line with typical private use. Between 7 October 2023 and 4 October 2024 it covered 3,503 miles; the following year to 2 October 2025 added 6,446 miles, a modest rise in annual accumulation but no sudden surge. Each test fell within days of the prior year's date, leaving no unexplained gaps. Low mileage such as this often signals gentle commuting or periods of storage rather than harsh drivetrain loading. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs despite the absence of flagged wear in the official record. The MOT snapshots noted no corrosion on structural members and no binding calipers, yet rubber and metal components degrade with age independent of distance travelled. A hands-on check of exhaust emissions under load, steering joints, and tyre sidewalls for cracking is warranted given the 2020 build. The clean advisories list implies the previous keeper preempted failures, but verifying service intervals for fluids and consumables remains sound practice before purchase.
