2017 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · GC17 NJK

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward deferred consumable repairs. The most recent test on August 12, 2025 at 62,389 miles resulted in an advisory for thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle passed, this entry indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of a service interval, requiring attention that differs from the clean records seen in the previous years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 46,892 miles in August 2021 to 62,389 miles in August 2025. This low-annual usage suggests the car has not undergone heavy motorway stress, which typically preserves the drivetrain and engine-related components. However, periods of lower mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced in the 2024 record. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyre condition, as the August 2024 test at 58,174 miles flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside front tyres. This type of wear often occurs when vehicles sit for long periods or age rather than through mileage. Given the recent advisory for thin rear brake pads, a physical inspection of the disc surfaces and calipers is necessary to ensure no uneven wear or glazing has occurred. There are no structural corrosion or suspension failures recorded in the history, suggesting the chassis remains in good condition.
