2022 Skoda Octavia SE Tech TSI E-TEC S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric · DG22 KYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 29 May 2026 at 24,787 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in consumable management. A failure just eleven days prior at 24,701 miles occurred due to both the nearside and offside front tyres being below the legal tread limit. While the issue was rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, it indicates that the owner neglected tyre replacement until a formal failure occurred. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 19,390 miles and the May 2026 test, the car covered 5,397 miles in a 14-month period. This relatively low annual mileage suggests light use, which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to flat spots or brake corrosion if not driven regularly. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and tyre wear patterns. The March 2025 advisory noted that the front tyres were worn on the edge, and the May 2026 failure confirmed they were eventually bald. This recurring uneven wear pattern suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes and ball joints that have not been addressed during the recent tyre replacement. Ensure the new tyres are of an acceptable quality and are not showing premature uneven wear.
