2011 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · AD11 ACJ

The 2011 Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 97,406 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The October 2023 entry shows a fail and a pass on the same date at 94,934 miles, yet the record lists no defects for either outcome, indicating a likely administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,494 miles, typical for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The records show low annual accumulation: 94,153 miles in June 2022, rising to 94,934 by October 2023, then 96,543 in October 2024 and 97,406 in October 2025. A gap exists between the June 2022 and October 2023 tests of over sixteen months, after which the owner resumed yearly October testing. The clean advisory history across all entries suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test and the car saw gentle use. With no advisories or defects logged for brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the Octavia shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring caution. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake disc condition, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not measure remaining component life. The same-date fail and pass in 2023 warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason code to rule out a clerical error. Given the sparse but clean record, the vehicle implies consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Verify service history and confirm the 2023 anomaly before purchase, but the MOT data alone shows no worsening faults or serious risk signals.
