2010 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · FV10 XGS

The 2026‑03‑03 MOT at 107,812 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Octavia is presently roadworthy. Although the recent test shows no immediate failures, the history of repeated advisories on the rear anti‑roll bar, rear reflectors and tyre wear demonstrates a stable but not improving maintenance pattern that requires ongoing attention. Mileage has risen steadily from 80,809 miles in March 2022 to 107,812 miles in March 2026, an average increase of roughly 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 16‑year‑old vehicle and shows no anomalous jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear anti‑roll bar and its mounting bushes for continued corrosion, examine the condition of the rear and offside tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage, verify the thickness of the rear and front brake pads and the integrity of the brake discs, and check the front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover for deterioration; any signs of structural rust on the chassis or suspension components should also be assessed before purchase.
