2020 Skoda Octavia SE First Edition TSI 1.5L Petrol · AF70 HZD

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 with 26,131 miles. The history indicates a generally clean record with only one minor advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing signs of perishing. This trend suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained well-maintained, as no recurring failures or significant defects have been recorded over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,355 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 15,890 miles in 2023 to 26,131 miles in 2026. While the low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the 2026 advisory for tyre cracking and perishing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2024 test flagged both front tyres as being near the legal limit and worn on the edge, indicating a potential alignment issue or incorrect inflation. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust on the discs. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust failures in the record suggests the chassis and underbody components remain in good condition.
