2014 Skoda Octavia VRS TDI CR 2.0L Heavy oil · CK64 AAX

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 at 152,717 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes since 2019. No advisories or failures appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Mileage stands at 152,717 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 12,726 miles per year, which is high for the age but consistent with steady use rather than neglect. The records show 95,005 miles on 2 September 2019, then 96,390 by 2 December 2021, a low 1,385-mile gap suggesting the car sat largely idle for over two years. From December 2021 the odometer climbed sharply to 131,066 by 15 March 2023 and 141,442 by 8 July 2024, before reaching 152,717 in September 2025, reflecting renewed high annual coverage. The sparse five-entry history offers no evidence of recurring faults. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection at this mileage. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc defects, yet components such as coil springs, track rod ends, and subframe mounts degrade with 150k miles of use and may pass until worn beyond limits. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for structural rust, check brake calipers for binding, and verify tyre sidewall condition. Given the 2021 to 2023 mileage surge, scrutinise the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, and turbocharger oil seals if fitted, as high-load motorway running accelerates drivetrain fatigue. Request service invoices to confirm cambelt and water pump replacement intervals were met.
