2017 SKODA OCTAVIA2.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT inspections. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 75,631 miles showed an initial failure followed immediately by a pass with no recorded defects. This sequence suggests a minor, rectified issue was addressed by the owner rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without persistent advisories across multiple testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 52,497 miles and June 2025 at 75,631 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles in roughly thirty months, aligning perfectly with typical annual usage patterns. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle undergoes regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of dry seals, seized brake calipers, or fluid degradation. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults in structural integrity or major braking components, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear items common to this mileage. Given the age of the Octavia, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be verified, as these often perish out before triggering an MOT failure. The buyer should also check the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear, as the record does not track the remaining thickness of these components unless they present a safety risk.
