2006 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · AD06 ATX

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 255,299 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The vehicle carries a clean test record from the August 2023 pass at 233,836 miles through to the 2025 pass, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. At roughly 20 years old the car shows 255,299 miles, equating to about 12,765 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained regular use rather than long idle periods. The records show steady accumulation: 233,836 miles in August 2023, 243,513 at the June 2024 test, and 255,299 by July 2025. Two failed tests on 10 July 2025 and 25 June 2024 were logged at 255,297 and 243,508 miles respectively, yet both were followed by passes on the next day with no defects cited, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding wear. Given the sparse and clean MOT data, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-mileage wear items not always caught in a pass. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, but at 255,000 miles the drivetrain, clutch, and structural integrity beneath sills and subframes warrant hands-on checks for fatigue. Previous owners kept the Octavia through three consecutive annual tests without accruing advisories, implying reasonable basic upkeep despite the mileage. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 reflects either clerical test errors or minor non-mechanical rejections, not a worsening fault trend.
