2022 Skoda Octavia SE L TSI IV S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · BV71 OBB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 71,551 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous test on 5 February 2025, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a four year old vehicle, averaging nearly 18,000 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 58,022 miles and the February 2026 test at 71,551 miles, the car covered 13,529 miles in a single year. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant time on motorways or in high-intensity commuting, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and interior trim. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of consumables. A buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these are wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit. The suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for signs of fatigue given the total distance covered. The absence of advisories across the last two tests suggests a consistent approach to basic upkeep. However, since the MOT is a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive mechanical health check, a review of the service history is essential to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have kept pace with the high annual mileage.
