2008 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Petrol · DK58 TYF

The most recent MOT, recorded on 2025-12-03, passed with noted issues concerning the rear suspension component corrosion and the offside rear tyre condition. The history shows a pattern where corrosion on the central rear lower sub-frame has been noted in both the 2023 failure and the most recent pass, indicating a persistent area of concern. The trend in the MOT history is mixed; while some issues were noted in earlier checks, the most recent result passed, but it flagged specific structural and tyre concerns that require attention. The mileage of 65,700 miles for a 2008 model suggests a relatively low annual mileage, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, although this does not rule out wear on other components. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the rear suspension area for any signs of further corrosion or structural weakness around the sub-frame. Secondly, check the condition of the offside rear tyre for any signs of cracking or deterioration. Finally, examine the front direction indicator and rear stop lamp(s) as these were noted in previous inspections, ensuring they are functioning correctly.
