2015 Skoda Octavia VRS TDI CR 2.0L Heavy oil · BF15 PWK

The 2026‑03‑26 MOT at 149,345 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, but the maintenance record shows an inconsistent trend, with a failure on 2026‑03‑16 at 149,020 miles followed by a clean pass a week later. The vehicle, a 2015 Skoda Octavia VRS TDI CR, has accumulated 149,345 miles in just over 11 years, averaging 13,577 miles per year, which is high for its age. Mileage jumps are evident: from 61,549 miles in August 2020 to 79,182 miles in September 2021 (17,633 miles in 13 months), and from 123,432 miles in November 2024 to 149,020 miles in March 2026 (25,588 miles in 3.5 months), indicating accelerated use in recent years, while earlier intervals were more moderate. Recurring issues flagged in the history include near‑side and off‑side front tyres worn on the edge (5.2.3 e) in 2020, rear tyre tears caused by structural separation in August 2018, and repeated wear of rear brake discs described as pitted or scored but not seriously weakened in 2020, 2019 and 2018. These patterns suggest potential neglect of tyre maintenance, possible suspension or brake component fatigue, and the need for a close inspection of rear suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers. A buyer should therefore examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify the integrity of rear brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, assess the state of suspension components for worn bushes or cracked springs, and check for any structural rust or damage around the wheel arches and chassis, as these areas have repeatedly been noted as advisory or defective in the MOT record.
