2014 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · A4 LMT

This Skoda Octavia demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT conducted on 10 September 2025 at 26,980 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is currently in a sound mechanical state. The history shows a consistent trend of clean passes, indicating that the car has been maintained to a high standard without recurring failures or persistent mechanical issues. The vehicle has covered a total of 26,980 miles over twelve years, averaging approximately 2,250 miles annually. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light usage, though the steady accumulation of roughly 2,000 miles per year between 2022 and 2025 confirms it has been driven regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. The 2024 testing sequence, which saw a minor discrepancy between a failed test and a pass on the same day, appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a reflection of mechanical instability. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of age rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT record is clean, rubber components such as suspension bushes, CV gaiters, and engine mounts can degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by infrequent heavy braking and inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing due to age. The lack of structural advisories is a positive indicator, but a visual check of the underside for early-stage corrosion on the exhaust system and subframes remains a prudent step given the vehicle's age.
