2009 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · AD59 GZG

The 2009 Skoda Octavia presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 1 March 2024 at 150,222 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the maintenance trend is steady rather than worsening. Prior tests on 27 January 2023 at 139,437 miles and 21 January 2022 at 135,963 miles also passed with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults in this period. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 17-year-old car. The record shows 135,963 miles in January 2022, rising to 139,437 by January 2023, then 150,222 by March 2024. That equates to roughly 3,500 miles in the first interval and 10,785 in the second, averaging about 8,800 miles per year overall. No standing gaps or abrupt accumulation appear; the sparse three-entry history simply reflects clean passes without flagged wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the age and 150,000-mile distance travelled. The MOT record shows no advisories on these components, but DVSA tests at this mileage can miss progressive wear between annual checks. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and assess tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity directly. The absence of historical defects implies reasonable upkeep, yet high-mileage Skodas of this era commonly develop worn dampers or binding calipers unseen in a pass result.
