2015 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · AF15 HDO

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test on 17 May 2025 at 103,097 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its latest examination without issue. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 88,877 miles on 6 April 2024, rising to 88,991 miles by 23 May 2024, then jumping to 103,091 miles at the 17 May 2025 failure and 103,097 miles at the same-day pass. That equates to roughly 14,100 miles in the final year, slightly above the long-term average of 9,372 miles per annum. The sparse history shows only clean passes and two anomalous failures with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than neglected upkeep. The twin failures on 6 April 2024 and 17 May 2025 both recorded no defects, which points to documentation or test centre errors rather than recurring mechanical faults. No advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion appear anywhere in the chain. The clean sheet means the buyer faces no flagged risks from the MOT data itself. Given the absence of recorded faults, a physical inspection should still confirm tyre condition, wiper operation, and underbody structural integrity, as these areas fall outside mandatory failure criteria yet affect ongoing roadworthiness. The owner maintained the car to a passable standard, but the unexplained failure entries warrant a check of the V5C and test certificates to confirm the history is genuine.
