2012 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · CV12 KSN

The Skoda Octavia presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 284,644 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. The vehicle has cleared its last three successive annual examinations without any advisories or failures, indicating the tester found no issues requiring attention across lighting, steering, suspension, or emissions at those points. The recorded mileage stands at 284,644 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 20,332 miles per year which is high for the age and points to sustained motorway or commercial-style use. The history shows a clean progression: 224,920 miles at the March 2023 test, 242,244 in February 2024, then a failed entry at 262,779 on 13 March 2025 with no defects logged followed by a pass at 267,785 the same day, and finally 284,644 in March 2026. The duplicate 13 March 2025 entries suggest an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault, and the 21,000-mile gap between early 2025 and early 2026 is consistent with the established annual rate. Given the absence of recorded advisories across five years and 60,000 miles, the MOT data alone shows no recurring wear trends in brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and suspension bushes given the high cumulative mileage, as annual tests capture only roadside-visible condition. The clean record implies previous keepers addressed consumables before each test, but the dense mileage means drivetrain fatigue and underbody rust remain outside MOT scope and warrant physical checks.
