2018 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · FV18 ADX

The 2025‑04‑10 MOT at 76,422 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Skoda Octavia remains roadworthy as of the latest test. All previous tests from 2022 through 2024 also showed passes with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than any worsening or improving trend. Mileage has risen from 40,937 miles in the April 2022 test to 76,422 miles in the April 2025 test, an increase of 35,485 miles over three years, or roughly 11,800 miles per year. This rate exceeds the typical 9,500‑mile annual average for an eight‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting more intensive use, yet the consistent annual testing and absence of recorded faults imply the owner has kept up with required servicing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of structural rust or corrosion. The exhaust system and emission levels should also be checked, as the record shows no emissions failures but does not guarantee current condition. Overall, the vehicle’s documented history demonstrates regular, defect‑free MOT outcomes and steady mileage growth, supporting a roadworthy assessment, but a physical inspection focusing on suspension, braking and structural integrity is essential before purchase.
