2021 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Hybrid electric · BW21 CCD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 66,137 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre shows uneven wear and surface perishing. While the car did not fail the test, the presence of this specific advisory suggests the beginning of a consumable replacement cycle or a potential alignment issue that requires attention to prevent further degradation. The Octavia has covered an average of 13,227 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a vehicle of five five years. Between the June 2024 test at 60,345 miles and the September 2025 test, the vehicle clocked 5,792 miles in just over fifteen months. This consistent usage suggests regular motorway or suburban driving which typically places predictable stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings rather than the accelerated corrosion or seal-related issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension geometry to address the uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre. Uneven patterns often point to worn arm bushes, faulty shock absorbers, or incorrect camber settings. Given the higher-than mileage for its age, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads for thinning or glazing is advisable, as the record does not explicitly flag binding calipers but the mileage indicates significant friction material usage. Verify the condition of the remaining tyre treads across all axles to ensure the perishing noted is not an isolated incident of neglected maintenance.
