2010 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · FV10 XJC

The 2010 Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 73,216 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 59,704 miles at the 2 June 2021 test, rising to 63,463 by 25 May 2022, 66,885 by 24 May 2023, 70,072 by 3 June 2024, and 73,216 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 3,400 miles per year across the documented period, well below typical use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the odometer advanced steadily and modestly each year. The DVSA history flags no advisories or failures on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A clean sheet across five tests implies the previous keeper kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current. Low standing mileage, however, can mask perished rubber components and shallow surface rust not yet at test-threshold. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sill structural integrity, check tyre sidewall condition given long static periods, and confirm brake caliper freedom after the car's light annual use. The MOT alone shows no active defects, but workshop verification remains sensible on a vehicle of this age.
