2013 Skoda Octavia SE TDI CR 1.6L Diesel · FX63 EMV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 7 May 2026 at 189,048 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the failure recorded on 13 April 2026 at 187,882 miles without listed defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor non-dangerous issue that was rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent test indicates the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety and emission standards for road use. The mileage profile reveals a significant shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's life. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the car covered 1,161 miles, which is an exceptionally low figure for a diesel engine. However, the data provided for 2022 and 2024 shows a massive discrepancy, with the mileage dropping from 247,858 miles in 2022 to 172,840 miles in 2024. Assuming the current figure of 189,048 miles is the accurate progression, the vehicle has covered approximately 16,200 miles in the last two years. This high annual mileage is consistent with long-distance motorway use but places significant stress on heavy-duty mechanical components. Given the high cumulative mileage, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and drivetrain. Look specifically for worn control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs which frequently degrade after 150,000 miles. The braking system should be checked for signs of caliper sticking or thin discs, as high mileage often accelerates uneven wear. Because the vehicle has seen fluctuating usage levels, verifying the service history regarding the timing belt and water pump is essential, as these are critical failure points on high-mileage TDI diesel engines of this age.
