2022 SKODA OCTAVIA SE TECH TSI IV S-A1.4L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 at 77,527 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The vehicle had failed the test three days earlier on 7 January 2026 at 77,526 miles, yet the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded against that failure, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly on 9 January 2025 at 62,183 miles. At roughly four years old the Octavia carries 77,527 miles on the clock, equating to about 19,382 miles per year and marking it as high-use for its age. The records show 15,344 miles accrued between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, a consistent annual accumulation with no standing periods or unexplained gaps. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across either pass. Given the clean test history a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of wear-prone components that short-interval MOTs do not always flag. High annual mileage of this order places real load on brake discs, coil springs, and drivetrain seals, none of which the record shows as queried. The January 2026 failure with zero defects warrants a check of the DVLA portal to confirm the cancellation reason and that no outstanding recall or compliance hold applies. The absence of recurring faults suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. Verify service stamps against the 62,183 and 77,527-mile points, and confirm the DSG transmission fluid interval has been met given the mileage.
