2017 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · FE67 KXB

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass in March 2026 at 64,864 miles. While the most recent test shows minor consumable issues regarding perishing front tyres, the record indicates a history of addressing mechanical defects rather than ignoring them. The transition from a failure in February 2025 to a pass in March 2026 suggests that previous owner interventions successfully resolved critical issues like brake pad thickness and washer functionality. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 29,885 miles in October 2020 to the current 64,864 miles in March 2026. This gradual increase avoids the potential issues associated with long periods of inactivity, such as seized components or fuel degradation, while also avoiding the heavy drivetrain wear typical of high-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on the front suspension components. The February 2025 test flagged light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber, and while this did not result in a failure in the subsequent 2026 test, it warrants a physical check for active leaks or damping degradation. The recurring mention of front brake pad wear between February 2024 and February 2025 suggests the front braking system is a regular maintenance item for this car. The presence of perishing tyres in the March 2026 test indicates that while the car is driven regularly, rubber components are reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than excessive mileage. Beyond checking the condition of the front tyres and the shock absorbers, the vehicle appears to have been maintained with appropriate attention to essential wear items.
