2014 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Petrol · DA14 YMP

The December 2025 MOT at 117,587 miles, conducted eight months before today’s July 2026 date, recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Skoda Octavia is presently roadworthy and that its maintenance record is stable. The mileage trajectory over the past twelve years shows a steady average of roughly 9,800 miles per year, with increments of 5,000‑6,000 miles between each test and no abrupt jumps; the brief three‑day interval between the 2022‑12‑06 failure and the subsequent pass at 100,876 miles indicates the vehicle was barely driven during that period, reinforcing the clean and consistent usage pattern. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake calipers for binding and examine the brake discs for scoring, look for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, verify exhaust condition and emissions compliance, and assess tyre tread and wiper blade condition, as these components commonly develop issues even when MOT records show a clean result.
