2020 Skoda Octavia SE L TSI 1.5L Petrol · DF70 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection on 07 August 2025 at 76,321 miles. Although the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified prior to the re-test. Since the November 2023 test, the car has maintained a clean MOT history, indicating that essential mechanical components are currently meeting legal standards without recurring failures or advisory warnings. The recorded mileage of 76,321 miles reflects an average usage pattern of approximately 12,700 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a six-year-old vehicle. The interval between the November 2023 test at 54,738 miles and the August 2024 test at 65,113 miles shows an accumulation of over 10,000 miles in nine months. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for motorway commuting, which typically results in less strain on clutch and suspension compared to stop-and-start city driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a close check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for signs of premature degradation. Given the usage profile, examine the brake discs for thinning or scoring. It is also advisable to inspect the lower chassis for any signs of structural corrosion, as the MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a specific threshold of material loss.
