2017 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · DF67 AEL

The 2017 Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 75,659 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any official test stage. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,400 miles, consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old car. The record shows steady accumulation: 35,025 miles in December 2021, rising to 47,670 by December 2022, 58,077 in December 2023, 66,405 in December 2024, and 75,659 in December 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps exist between tests, and the clean sheet at every interval suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable flags such as tyre wear or wiper degradation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. The DVSA test captures only roadworthy condition on the day and does not assess components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc thickness until they breach limits. With 75,659 miles on the clock, expect natural ageing of dampers and bushing compliance even where no advisory was raised. Verify underside structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around sills and subframes, as the test records no historical rust findings but cannot confirm absence nine months after the last test. Confirm service history covers timing belt and transmission fluid per Skoda intervals, since MOT data alone proves statutory roadworthiness, not mechanical longevity.
