2018 Skoda Octavia 1.0L Petrol · AF18 GYD

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 97,508 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT results across every examination in the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,188 miles, high for an eight-year-old car and pointing to sustained motorway or business use rather than occasional local running. The records show steady accumulation: 58,669 miles in January 2022, 68,726 by October 2022, 75,661 in November 2023, 87,278 in November 2024, and 97,508 in November 2025. No test gaps or abrupt jumps appear, and every entry carries a pass with no advisories logged. Because the DVSA data flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the documented history implies previous owners kept the vehicle to a sound standard. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests at rising mileages suggests consumable wear was addressed before each examination. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for hidden corrosion, check suspension arm bushes and damper condition, and measure brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth. High annual mileage accelerates drivetrain and suspension fatigue even when MOT results stay clear, so a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal remains prudent.
