2002 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · AG02 EXD

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 25 October 2021 at 122,964 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a clean roadworthiness status at that time. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving beyond that single clean result, as the only other entry is a failure four days earlier at 122,963 miles with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded-cause rejection rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 24 years old the car shows 122,964 miles, an average of about 5,124 miles per year, which is low for its age and points to light use or extended periods off the road. The record jumps from a failed test on 21 October 2021 at 122,963 miles to a pass on 25 October 2021 at 122,964 miles, a one-mile gap with no listed defects. No earlier history is supplied, so the pre-2021 condition and any prior advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion remain unknown. A buyer should physically inspect structural integrity and underbody corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the lack of recorded advisories to confirm those areas were checked. The near-identical mileages across the two 2021 tests imply the car has stood largely unused since, raising risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, or flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Without in-person examination of coil springs, exhaust emissions, and brake binding, the clean 2021 pass offers limited assurance for 2026 road use. The sparse record shows no recurring faults but provides no evidence of ongoing upkeep across the intervening five years.
