2007 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · AG07 HZS

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 September 2024 at 188,486 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing a clean sequence of passes from 2021 through 2023 and a final clean pass in 2024, though the failed test on 31 August 2024 at 188,099 miles is anomalous as it recorded no defects yet still resulted in a failure. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical 9,920 per year for a 2007 vehicle, rising from 163,695 miles at the 15 September 2021 test to 173,121 miles by 25 September 2023, then jumping to 188,099 miles by 31 August 2024. That final year added roughly 15,000 miles, a moderate increase over prior periods but not extreme. The record is sparse on advisories, with every pass showing no defects and no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car is nineteen years old and has covered 188,486 miles. The absence of MOT advisories does not preclude worn suspension bushes, tired dampers, or fatigued coil springs that a tester may not have flagged under current criteria. The unexplained failure on 31 August 2024 with zero defects suggests an administrative or documentation issue rather than mechanical fault, since the vehicle passed six days later at near-identical mileage. Verify the V5C and test certificate for that gap, and confirm brake disc thickness and tyre condition in person before purchase.
