2019 Skoda Octavia 1.5L Petrol · DP69 PJJ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 26 November 2025 at 20,984 miles. The maintenance trend is stable regarding mechanical failures, though a recurring issue with tyre degradation persists. The latest test flagged a damaged or perishing nearside rear tyre as an advisory, following a similar pattern of sidewall issues in previous years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year. The odometer readings show a consistent and light usage pattern, moving from 9,356 miles in December 2022 to 20,984 miles by November 2025. This low throughput suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often correlates with the tyre perishing noted in the records. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres. The tester flagged a perished nearside front tyre in December 2024 and a worn outer sidewall on the same tyre in November 2023. The shift to a perishing nearside rear tyre in the 2025 test indicates that the rubber is degrading due to age and lack of use rather than tread wear. The November 2023 test noted that engine and under-vehicle covers prevented a full inspection of covered components. While common for this model, a buyer should verify there are no hidden fluid leaks or corrosion on the chassis that the tester could not access. Given the low mileage and history of perishing rubber, checking for flat spots on the tyres and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion is advisable.
