2011 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · FV61 UGZ

The 2022‑09‑20 MOT at 149,860 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Previous failures on 2022‑09‑16 and 2021‑09‑14 show recurring issues that were corrected before each subsequent test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 97,416 miles in September 2021 to 149,860 miles by September 2022, an increase of 52,444 miles in twelve months, well above the typical 9,991 miles per year for a 15‑year‑old car. The absence of any MOT since September 2022 means more than three years have passed without a formal inspection, raising the need for a fresh assessment. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show no scoring, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could affect integrity. Because the high annual mileage and the three‑year gap suggest accelerated wear on the drivetrain, exhaust and tyre components, a thorough in‑person inspection of those areas is essential before purchase.
