2016 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · AE16 VTP

The 2016 Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 119,782 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Mileage has accumulated in a typical pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 86,632 miles at the 10 June 2022 test, rising to 98,464 by 16 June 2023, then 110,379 at the 14 June 2024 pass and 119,782 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every test from 2022 onward listing no advisories or defects. A failed test on 14 June 2024 at 110,376 miles sits immediately before a pass on the same day at 110,379 miles, both with no defects recorded. This suggests an administrative or identification discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner rectified it within hours. No recurring wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion appears across the timeline. Given the clean MOT trail, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation at 119,782 miles, and a qualified technician should confirm underside corrosion and drivetrain condition before purchase.
