2010 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · BT10 AFF

The 2010 Skoda Octavia passed its May 14 2025 MOT at 93,486 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests from 2022 through 2024 also showed passes, except for a May 8 2024 failure that listed no specific defects, suggesting the issue was either procedural or minor and not captured in the official record. The mileage has risen steadily from 83,833 miles in May 2022 to 93,486 miles in May 2025, an increase of roughly 9,653 miles over three years, or about 3,200 miles per year, which aligns with the low annual average for a 16‑year‑old vehicle. No rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the duplicate May 8 2024 entry at the same mileage points to a retest rather than additional use. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring, corrosion or binding, and assess the exhaust system for rust or leaks, as these components often show age‑related deterioration even when MOT records list no defects. Particular attention to structural rust around wheel arches and the chassis, as well as tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, will help verify the vehicle’s true mechanical state. Overall the Octavia presents a low‑mileage, well‑maintained example with a consistent pass history, but a thorough physical inspection of suspension, braking and structural elements is advisable before purchase.
