2009 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · CX09 WCG

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 111,806 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 9 July 2024 at 106,840 miles also passed clean. The owner has kept the vehicle to a consistent standard over the last two cycles with no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 2009 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,577 miles per year across its life. The records show 102,172 miles on 12 July 2023, rising to 106,840 by 9 July 2024 and 111,806 by 7 July 2025, a steady annual accumulation of around 4,500 to 5,000 miles. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with the only non-passes being administrative failures on 12 July 2023 and 2 July 2024 at identical or near-identical mileages, both logged with no defects recorded, suggesting paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car is seventeen years old and corrosion or worn consumables may not surface in a clean MOT. The two failure entries without recorded defects imply the vehicle was presented prematurely or with missing documentation, not that the owner skipped basic upkeep, yet standing periods between short annual use can hide underbody rust and perished flexible brake hoses. Given the absence of advisories across the last three passed tests, the Octavia shows no worsening mechanical trend. Verify the service history matches the low annual mileage and check exhaust emissions and structural integrity closely before purchase, as a clean MOT at this age does not guarantee freedom from age-related degradation.
