2018 Skoda Octavia 1.5L Petrol · SL68 AEC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 53,143 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car remains in a roadworthy condition and has avoided the common degradation of components typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with light to moderate use, averaging roughly 6,643 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between October 2023 and October 2024, where the odometer rose from 21,917 to 34,672 miles. Despite this jump of nearly 13,000 miles in a single year, the vehicle passed its inspection without any flagged wear on consumables or mechanical failures. The record shows a single failure on 24 October 2022 at 17,871 miles, though the vehicle passed the following day at the same mileage. The absence of any recorded defects during that failure suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial rectification. There are no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on general wear items that do not always trigger MOT failures. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the age of the battery, as these are consumables that may require replacement regardless of a clean test sheet. Given the lack of advisories, the primary goal is to verify that the service history aligns with the low-defect MOT record.
