2018 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · EY68 KXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean MOT history following a minor setback. The most recent test conducted on 8 July 2025 at 81,915 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This clean result suggests that the previous owner has addressed any necessary repairs and maintained the vehicle to a high standard over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,240 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 58,467 miles and July 2024 at 77,756 miles, the car covered nearly 20,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The gap of 4,159 miles recorded between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests indicates more recent annual use, which helps prevent the seal degradation and component seizing associated with long periods of inactivity. While the history is largely exemplary, the failure on 26 September 2023 at 69,023 miles indicates a specific mechanical or emission issue that required immediate attention. Since the record does not detail the exact cause of that failure, a buyer should verify the current condition of common Octavia failure points such as bulbs, sensors, or exhaust system integrity. Given the mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on the state of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake discs, as these components typically show significant wear around the 80,000-mile mark.
