2009 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · G19 EYA

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 16 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last three years. While the record shows failures on 7 October 2025 and 9 September 2024, these were resolved within days, suggesting the owner addressed issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,140 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 152,714 to 174,407 miles. Since then, the accumulation has slowed significantly, with only 14,981 miles added between September 2024 and October 2025. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage, with no recorded defects or advisories listed across multiple tests. This lack of data on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a car approaching 190,000 miles. It suggests either an exceptional maintenance regime or a tester who provided minimal detail in the advisory section. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion and drivetrain wear. Given the high mileage, check for rust on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged. Inspect the clutch bite point and listen for timing chain rattle or suspension knocks, as these mechanical wear items are not always captured in a standard MOT test.
