2018 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Petrol · DC18 UTT

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 66,507 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with every recorded pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories raised across the available history. A failed entry on the same date carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year. The record shows 45,871 miles on 3 August 2024, rising to 50,575 by 12 March 2025 and 66,507 by February 2026. The jump between March 2025 and February 2026 accounts for nearly 16,000 miles in under a year, doubling the earlier annual rate. Prior to that, use was lighter. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, so no wear trends on consumables or mechanical items are visible. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the limited test coverage. The clean record offers no flag on structural integrity or exhaust emissions, but a single recent high-mileage year may have accelerated drivetrain and brake wear not yet captured by the MOT. Verify service history to confirm fluids, timing belt, and tyre condition match the stated use.
