2017 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · SK17 ABV

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 May 2025 at 89,082 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, showing clean passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 once administrative failures were resolved. No recurring mechanical or structural advisories appear in the data, which suggests the vehicle has not accumulated the wear patterns typical of neglected examples. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,900 miles against the car's 2017 build, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The record moves from 71,684 miles at the May 2023 test to 79,404 miles in April 2024, then to 89,082 miles by May 2025, equating to about 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no abnormal jumps or standing gaps. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing only two failed tests on consecutive days in May 2023 and May 2025 where the tester logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than fault-based rejects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake disc thickness given the car is now nine years old and past 89,000 miles. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission advisories in the record is encouraging, but MOT sheets only capture visible failings at test time. Verify the bodywork structural integrity and underseal condition in person, and confirm the twin 2023 and 2025 failures were clerical by checking the full DVSA test certificates.
