2007 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · FN57 OCY

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 222,876 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available records, with each pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The history is short but consistent, showing no worsening mechanical faults. Mileage sat at 206,195 miles for the July 2023 pass, rose to 217,072 miles by the 26 July 2024 failure, then 217,125 miles at the 5 August 2024 pass, and reached 222,876 miles by the July 2025 tests. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles a year, in line with typical use for a 19-year-old car. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or long standing gaps, though only three pass events and two same-day failures exist. The 26 July 2024 and 31 July 2025 tests both list a fail with no defects recorded, a pattern suggesting administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The 31 July 2025 fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage points to a retest clearing a non-itemised issue. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions in person, as the clean MOT record does not confirm absence of wear at 222,876 miles. Check underneath for corrosion and verify the braking system is free from binding calipers before purchase.
