2014 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · AF14 FET

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 22 July 2025 at 186,982 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The vehicle presents as roadworthy on paper as of that test, just under one year before the current date. Annual mileage sits at roughly 15,582 miles, high for a 2014 car but consistent year to year. The record shows 174,851 miles on 19 July 2023, 174,858 on 24 July 2023, 179,142 on 22 July 2024, and 186,974 to 186,982 across 21 to 22 July 2025. The owner added about 4,300 miles between each summer test. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean pass sheets across four years suggest routine testing discipline rather than deferred upkeep. The test history is sparse on faults. Two failures on 19 July 2023 and 21 July 2025 list no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation issues at the centre rather than mechanical rejection. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the record gives no evidence of worsening wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, given the 186,982-mile count and twelve years of age. Verify the brake calipers are free, check tyre tread depth and suspension arm condition, and confirm the 2023 and 2025 failure reasons with the testing station. The paper trail shows care, but high mileage hides consumable fatigue the MOT did not capture.
