2018 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · AE68 FMA

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 30 September 2024 at 95,205 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle shows a clean test profile once presented for re-test. Annual mileage averages around 11,900 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car of this class. The record moves from 58,160 miles at the 27 September 2022 pass, to 76,313 miles on the failed and passed tests of 26 and 27 September 2023, then to 95,204 and 95,205 miles across the 30 September 2024 fail and pass. The one-mile gap between the failed and passed entry on that final date shows the car was corrected and re-presented within the same day. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data. The two failure entries on 26 September 2023 and 30 September 2024 both show no defects recorded, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding mechanical faults. The owner cleared the matters immediately on both occasions. Such a pattern suggests the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied the tester without listed wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by a pass with no defects. Check brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion given the car has now passed 95,000 miles. Verify service history independently, since the MOT record alone confirms legal roadworthiness but stays silent on intermediate maintenance.
