2010 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · EU10 ACX

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 29 October 2025 at 202,626 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 29 October 2022 through to the 2025 pass, showing a clean roadworthiness record over the last three years. A failed test on 28 October 2025 at the same mileage was followed one day later by a pass with no defects logged, indicating the failure was likely administrative or a minor rectifiable item cleared before retest. The odometer shows 190,443 miles at the 29 October 2022 test, rising to 194,866 by 30 October 2023, 198,790 by 30 October 2024, and 202,626 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year across the recorded period, well below the implied 12,664 annual average for the vehicle's life and suggesting lighter recent use. The 202,626 figure matches both the October 2025 fail and pass, confirming no mileage was added between those dates. No gaps exist in the annual cycle, and the sparse clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 16-year age and 202,626-mile total. High mileage and standing periods can mask corrosion on structural members and subframes not visible during a no-defect MOT. The tester recorded no advisories on exhaust emissions or tyre condition, but wiper blades and tread depth warrant a physical check before purchase. Previous owners appear to have maintained the Octavia to a basic passing standard with no repeated failures or worsening faults. The single 2025 fail with immediate pass suggests routine compliance rather than deep mechanical investment. At this mileage, drivetrain wear remains the key unmeasured risk the MOT data cannot expose.
