2009 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · DA59 XDC

The Skoda Octavia currently holds no valid MOT pass, having failed the 12 December 2024 test at 125,967 miles with no defects formally recorded by the tester. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable or worsening from fault data, because every pass and the failed tests list zero defects. The vehicle is unroadworthy until a fresh test is passed, and the buyer must treat the December 2024 failure as an unresolved barrier to sale. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,410 per year against the 17-year age, a typical figure for this model. The records show 97,791 miles in December 2021, 108,537 in December 2022, 117,887 in December 2023, and 125,967 in December 2024, equating to about 10,000 to 11,000 miles added each year with no gaps. The clean advisories across all entries suggest either light mechanical wear or that testers omitted commentary rather than the car being fault-free in reality. The duplicated 15 December 2022 entry, showing both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 108,537, points to a same-day rectification or administrative retest with no defects logged. Without recorded advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, the history gives no signal of structural or mechanical risk from the DVSA data alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions before purchase. The absent advisories do not confirm component health; they only confirm the tester recorded nothing. Given the 125,967-mile odometer and expired failed status, prioritise a full mechanical check and a fresh MOT before any funds transfer.
