2021 Skoda Octavia SE TSI 1.0L Petrol · CX21 SWJ

The 2025-06-21 MOT at 38,236 miles confirms the 2021 Skoda Octavia SE TSI remains roadworthy, with only a minor rear tyre cut noted and no failures in brakes, suspension, or emissions. The recent pass shows a stable maintenance record with no worsening mechanical issues. Mileage has risen from 16,429 miles in July 2023 to 26,285 miles by June 2024 (9,856 miles in one year) and then to 38,236 miles by June 2025 (11,951 miles in the following year), showing a steady annual increase consistent with the vehicle’s five‑year age and average usage of roughly 7,600 miles per year. A buyer should therefore examine the rear tyre tread depth and the nature of the cuts, verify the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for any play or corrosion, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, as the repeated tyre defects may indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues. Finally, a visual check for structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and a review of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks are advisable, since the record shows no major mechanical failures but does reveal minor consumable wear that could signal neglected maintenance.
