2015 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · EW02 AFW

The vehicle presents a roadworthy profile with a maintenance trend that remains stable but shows early signs of component degradation. The most recent test in September 2025 at 73,259 miles resulted in a pass despite a light misting on the offside front shock absorber. While this is not a failure, it indicates the beginning of a seal failure that will eventually require replacement. Given the clean record in 2024, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a generally acceptable standard over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 52,975 miles and September 2025 at 73,259 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, suggesting low annual usage. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber-based parts per if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to ensure the misting on the offside shock absorber has not progressed to a significant leak. The history shows a previous issue with front brake pads being significantly thin in 2021 and perishing front tyres in 2023, which suggests that consumables are replaced upon necessity rather than proactively. Check the current condition of the front tyres for sidew cracking and verify the remaining life on the brake pads, as the record indicates these are areas that require regular attention despite the low mileage.
