2022 Skoda Octavia VRS TSI S-A 2.0L Petrol · DE22 FSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 27,927 miles. While the car passed, the tester flagged the rear brake discs as worn, pitted or scored. This is a common issue for vehicles that spend significant time idling or are driven in stop-start traffic, though the tester confirmed the discs were not yet seriously weakened. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a four-year-old vehicle. The odometer rose from 18,674 miles during the 25 February 2025 test to 27,927 miles by the March 2026 test. This indicates an increase of 9,253 miles over approximately one year, which aligns with the overall average of roughly 6,982 miles per annum. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system. The pitting and scoring noted in the March 2026 entry suggest the discs are nearing the end of their effective life and may require replacement soon to avoid further degradation. Checking for uneven wear or sticking calipers would be prudent to ensure the pitting is not caused by a mechanical fault. Beyond the brakes, the record is exceptionally clean. The February 2025 test showed no defects, and there are no mentions of suspension wear, exhaust emissions failures, or structural corrosion. The lack of recurring advisories suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard.
