2007 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Petrol · AF07 ELU

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 22 January 2025 at 115,865 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the test two days earlier on 20 January 2025 at the same mileage produced a fail with no defects logged, a pattern consistent with an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or structural concerns appear in any entry from 2022 onwards. Mileage accumulation sits close to typical for a 2007 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,100 miles per year. The records show 95,554 miles on 17 March 2022, then 96,920 miles by 10 February 2023, 107,665 miles on 30 January 2024, and 115,865 miles on 22 January 2025. The largest single-year movement was just under 11,000 miles between early 2023 and early 2024; the remaining periods reflect light use. The identical 115,865-mile figure on both January 2025 tests confirms the car was not driven between them. The clean MOT lineage suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, with no flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 19-year age, as MOT passes with no defects do not certify absence of developing rust. Verify the January 2025 fail reason in person, since DVSA data shows no defect but the reversal implies a non-mechanical rejection worth confirming on the paperwork.
