2006 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · AD55 DNX

The December 2025 MOT at 109,098 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding MOTs from 2025, 2023 and 2022 also show passes with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no worsening of mechanical condition. The vehicle is about 20 years old and has accumulated roughly 5,455 miles per year, a rate lower than typical for its age, suggesting limited use or periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 64,055 in January 2016 to 109,098 in December 2025, with consistent increments of about 5,000 miles each year and no abrupt jumps in the intervening intervals. Recurring issues centre on the front suspension and constant‑velocity joints: severe CV joint boot deterioration appears from 2016 onward, while suspension arm pins and bushes show wear from 2020 onward. The tester repeatedly flagged binding rear brakes and excessive play in lower suspension components in earlier tests, so a buyer should examine the front and rear suspension geometry, inspect the condition of the CV joints and boots, and verify that brake calipers move freely without binding. No structural rust or chassis defects have been recorded, but the repeated advisory items on suspension and CV joints imply that previous owners may have deferred replacement of worn components. A thorough visual inspection of the chassis, suspension bushings, ball joints and tyre wear patterns, together with a functional brake test, will reveal whether the vehicle can sustain further mileage without costly repairs.
