2021 Skoda Octavia SE L First Edition TSI 1.5L Petrol · SM11 KEM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 55,066 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car progressed through its previous tests in 2024 and 2025 without any recorded defects. While the latest inspection identified minor issues related to tyre condition, these represent standard consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The record moved from 29,824 miles in April 2024 to 40,147 miles by March 2025, followed by another 14,919 miles leading to the March 2026 test. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of engine seals, brake components, and battery condition. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres as flagged in the March 2026 report. The tester noted a cut on the offside front tyre and cracking or perishing on both rear tyres, indicating the rubber may be reaching the end of its structural life despite sufficient tread depth. Given the lack of defects in the previous two years, a visual check of the suspension bushes and brake discs is advisable simply to ensure no accelerated wear has occurred during the more recent mileage interval.
