MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2009 Skoda Octavia (EA59 ECE) between October 2012 and January 2026.

The record contains 13 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 14 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (19 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn ball joint play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”.
