2018 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · CU18 TWM

The Skoda Octavia presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its entire five-year MOT history. The most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 179,232 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle cleared its annual inspection without fault eleven months before today's review date. Annual mileage averages 22,404 miles against the car's 2018 build year, placing this Octavia firmly in high-use territory for a family estate. The records show consistent year-on-year accumulation: 107,389 miles in August 2021, 117,743 in August 2022, 128,391 in August 2023, 150,518 in August 2024, and 179,232 in August 2025. The step from 128,391 to 150,518 marks the steepest single-year jump at 22,127 miles, yet every test landed within a tight August window with no lapsed certificates or gap years. The absence of any advisory flags on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion suggests previous owners kept the car to a disciplined service rhythm despite the heavy use. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests at this mileage is uncommon and points to proactive consumable replacement rather than deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underside for early corrosion and measure brake disc wear, as high annual mileage hides mechanical fatigue that a pass-with-no-defects result will not capture. Verify service stamps align with the 22k-mile yearly load, and check tyre sidewall dates given the tread replacement cycles a car of this use profile demands.
