MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Skoda Octavia (DE06 DFY) between August 2009 and October 2022.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 25 October 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Tyres (23 issues), Suspension (18 issues), Lighting (15 issues), Bodywork (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 77 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn front trailing arm bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn front trailing arm bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
