2015 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · AF65 UJU

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 93,149 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. The vehicle carries no live advisories and no recurring mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repair. Mileage sits at a typical level for an 11-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,468 miles per year. The record moves from 66,826 miles at the 20 September 2022 test to 76,004 miles in September 2023, then 84,926 miles in September 2024, and 93,149 miles in September 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 8,000 to 9,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The only anomaly is a failed test on 11 September 2024 at 84,856 miles, five days before a pass at 84,926 miles; the failure lists no defects, which suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. The MOT record captures only tested conditions on the day and does not measure suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, brake disc thickness, or structural corrosion that may sit below failure thresholds. At 93,149 miles the original dampers, steering joints, and exhaust system are aged and warrant physical checks for weeping seals or surface rust. The September 2024 fail-with-no-defects entry deserves a glance at the DVSA portal to confirm no omitted advisory text. Previous owners kept the Octavia to a passing standard each year, but absence of advisories across five tests on a high-mileage hatchback often means testers logged nothing rather than that nothing exists. Verify tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody integrity before purchase.
