Our Verdict

This 2017 Skoda Octavia offers good value for money with a clean recent MOT history, but potential buyers should carefully inspect tyre condition and review service records.

Prioritise checking the tyre condition and replacement history, as front and rear tyres have shown wear and cracking in previous MOTs. Verify service records to confirm regular maintenance, particularly for brake systems and suspension components. Negotiate based on the above-average mileage and the need for potential tyre replacements. Be cautious of hidden costs if the service history is incomplete.

The 1.4L petrol engine offers moderate fuel economy, with typical urban mileage around 35-40 mpg. As a petrol vehicle registered after 2017, it incurs a £155 annual road tax. Insurance groups for this model typically range from 15-20, resulting in average premiums of £600-£800 annually. Routine maintenance costs are reasonable, with oil changes and brake inspections recommended every 10,000-15,000 miles. Estimated annual running costs: £1,000-£1,200.

Focus on tyre tread depth and condition, as front and rear tyres have shown wear and cracking in past MOTs. Check brake pads and discs for excessive wear, as uneven tyre wear can indicate suspension issues. Inspect the engine for oil leaks and review the service history for regular maintenance. Verify the VIN against the logbook to confirm no major accident history. Test drive for unusual noises or vibrations that may indicate suspension or transmission problems.

The vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT record since 2022, with only minor tyre-related issues noted. At 89,762 miles, it exceeds average mileage for its age, though no major mechanical defects have been recorded. The 1.4L petrol engine provides reliable performance, but the lack of aggregate reliability data means buyers should verify service history.

While no aggregate data exists for the 2017 Skoda Octavia, Skoda models generally demonstrate solid reliability with proper maintenance. This vehicle's MOT history suggests it has been well-maintained but requires attention to tyre management.
