2020 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · CX70 PCY

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 42,206 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean record across three consecutive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 25,026 miles at the 21 August 2023 test, rising to 33,366 miles by 21 August 2024 and 42,206 miles by 20 August 2025. That equates to roughly 8,300 miles per year between tests, marginally above the 7,034-mile annual average implied by the current odometer. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data; the three entries form a consistent low-to-moderate usage pattern with no missing test years. The DVSA history flags no advisories or failures across any examination. A buyer should not infer unresolved mechanical risks from the record itself, though the absence of noted wear does not exempt the car from physical inspection. At 42,206 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions system remain untested by failure and should be visually checked for corrosion or degradation that a pass does not capture. Given the clean trajectory, previous ownership appears to have maintained the vehicle to at least statutory MOT standard. Prospective buyers should still commission an independent pre-purchase inspection to assess consumable items such as tyre tread depth and wiper condition, which fall outside MOT failure thresholds until severely worn.
