2014 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · DF64 EXW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 28 May 2025 at 107,571 miles which returned no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend in mechanical presentation compared to the previous year, where multiple advisories regarding brakes and tyres were noted. The history suggests that the current or most recent owner has proactively addressed the recurring wear items identified in earlier inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over its twelve-year life. There is a notable gap of 16,910 miles recorded between February 2022 and June 2023, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. The interval of 13 months and 2 days since the May 2025 test indicates the car is still in regular use, which is generally beneficial for preventing seals and rubber components from drying or seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking system given the recurring issues in the past. The June 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted rear discs, while the 2023 test identified play in the front anti-roll bar linkage joints. Although these were cleared in the latest test, the frequency of these advisories suggests the vehicle is prone to wear on suspension components. Check for uneven tyre wear across all axles, as the 2022 and 2024 records both highlight a history of tyres reaching the legal limit or showing edge wear.
