2022 Skoda Octavia SE L TSI 1.5L Petrol · DF71 GHY

The 2022 Skoda Octavia SE L TSI presents a stable and unblemished mechanical history. The most recent MOT test on 21 January 2026 at 38,555 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A clean pass with no advisories suggests the car has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no immediate mechanical or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage demonstrates typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2025 test on 27 January at 29,299 miles and the 2026 test at 38,555 miles, the car covered 9,256 miles over a twelve-month period. This annual accumulation aligns closely with the overall average of roughly 9,639 miles per year, ruling out extreme long-distance commuting or prolonged periods of inactivity. The data is sparse but entirely clean, showing a consistent and unremarkable wear pattern. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the condition of consumable components that naturally degrade over 38,555 miles. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, paying attention to any lipping or uneven wear that might not yet constitute a testable failure. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these components often degrade without triggering an MOT advisory until significant play develops. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition also warrant a close visual assessment, given the mileage accumulated since the last test.
