2010 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · FP10 KXM

This Skoda Octavia presents a stable and exceptionally clean MOT history, with the most recent pass on 24 July 2024 at 118,333 miles recording no defects. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over the last five years, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. A single failure on 28 July 2021 was resolved within twenty four hours, and the subsequent four tests have remained entirely clear of both failures and advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,396 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the odometer rose from 90,390 to 118,333 miles, showing a steady usage rate of approximately 11,000 miles annually in the most recent three year window. This indicates the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which typically helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. Despite the clean record, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or suspension bushes is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle and may suggest the previous owner addressed these issues outside of the MOT process. Check the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns, as these consumables often wear down without triggering a formal MOT failure until they reach the legal limit. Verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. While the MOT record confirms the car is roadworthy, it does not track internal engine health or drivetrain maintenance. A manual check for oil leaks around the engine bay and a test of the clutch bite point will complete the assessment of this well maintained example.
