2007 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · AJ07 KGP

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 139,162 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2024 to January 2025 also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults across the available record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 19-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year. The record jumps from 128,810 miles at the November 2022 test to 130,294 miles by the January 2024 failure, then climbs steadily to 134,208 in January 2025 and 139,162 in January 2026. A gap exists between late 2022 and early 2024, but annual increments since remain consistent and modest. The clean pass history suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current despite the low yearly use. The only blemish is the 11 January 2024 failure at 130,294 miles, which the tester cleared with no defects recorded seven days later on 18 January 2024 at 130,307 miles. This points to an administrative or minor pre-test correction rather than a structural or mechanical defect. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues appear anywhere in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the sparse five-entry history. Verify the brake calipers are free, check tyre condition and wiper blades for consumable wear, and confirm the 2024 failure cause with the prior owner. The MOT record alone implies responsible ownership, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical assessment.
