2018 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Petrol · CX18 OLP

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 70,116 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 24 February 2025 at 69,246 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 February 2025 at 69,244 miles, yet the record lists no defects and the car passed six days later, indicating a likely administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,764 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show 50,632 miles in April 2023, 59,673 miles in February 2024, then 69,244 to 70,116 miles across February to October 2025. The jump from 59,673 to 69,244 miles between February 2024 and February 2025 reflects about 9,600 miles of use, marginally above the yearly average but not abnormal. The clean history with no advisories across all five entries suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age. The MOT data flags no recurring faults, so no specific mechanical trend warrants concern. Verify the 18 February 2025 failure reason at the testing station, as the missing defect entry prevents confirmation of a non-mechanical cause.
