2017 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · AH07 HDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of clean inspection results. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 107,180 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in early November 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean pass just nine days later suggest the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults as they arise. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 (66,627 miles) and October 2023 (85,919 miles), the car covered nearly 20,000 miles, showing a period of high intensity. However, the rate slowed significantly in the following year, with only 21,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This suggests a predictable usage profile which generally correlates with even wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific area that caused the November 2024 failure, although the record does not specify the exact component. Given the mileage now exceeds 100,000 miles, a close look at the front suspension control arm bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often perish at this interval. You should also check the brake discs for signs of heavy corrosion or thinning, as the high-mileage usage pattern puts significant stress on the braking system over time.
