2018 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · CX18 GLV

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 74,175 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the full available history. Annual mileage has averaged close to 9,270 miles, consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual increments: 42,072 miles in February 2022, 49,998 in March 2023, 58,752 in March 2024, 66,495 in March 2025, and 74,175 in March 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, with every test returning a fault-free pass, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and mechanical items within tolerance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and accumulated mileage. The absence of recorded advisories means no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns were raised by testers, but MOT passes do not measure component life remaining. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition match the clean record. The consistent test outcomes imply disciplined upkeep rather than deferred work, yet eight years of service warrants checking for early wear not yet at failure threshold.
