2013 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · AJ63 OEN

The 2013 Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 137,004 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a fail on 12 November 2022 at 109,134 miles that the record shows with no defects listed, followed a week later by a pass on 19 November 2022 at 109,498 miles; this points to an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage has accumulated in a steady, age-typical pattern across the recorded history. The car covered roughly 8,400 miles between the November 2022 pass at 109,498 miles and the November 2023 test at 120,906 miles, then 7,678 miles to November 2024 at 128,584 miles, and 8,420 miles to the November 2025 test at 137,004 miles. Over thirteen years this equates to about 10,500 miles per year, indicating consistent use without prolonged standing or aggressive high-mileage wear on the drivetrain. The clean advisory history across five successive tests suggests the previous owner kept on top of consumables and mechanical upkeep, with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns. A buyer should still verify the bodywork and underbody for structural rust given the vehicle's age and the absence of any inspector notes, since MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of wear below test thresholds. In person, check the coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre tread depth despite the clean record, as these items degrade between annual tests. The 2022 fail-with-no-defects entry warrants a glance at the DVSA failure reason if available, though the immediate pass implies the matter was resolved before sale.
