2017 Skoda Octavia S TSI 1.0L Petrol · GC17 APK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes without recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 22 December 2025 at 64,196 miles returned no failures or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they reached a point of failure during the DVSA testing process. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,133 miles per annum. Between January 2024 and December 2025, the car covered 16,093 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The gap between the July 2020 test and the January 2022 test is accounted for by the COVID-19 regulatory extension, rather than a period of mechanical neglect. The low-to-average mileage for this age typically results in less wear on the drivetrain components, turbocharger, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT record shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not fully capture. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from surface pitting. Given the vehicle's age, checking the rubber components for cracking in the suspension and arm bushes is advisable to ensure the materials have not degraded through time despite the low mileage.
