2019 Skoda Octavia 1.5L Petrol · GC19 FCO

The most recent MOT on 20 June 2025 at 57,274 miles recorded a Pass, confirming the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that point. The preceding failure on 17 June 2025 recorded no defects, indicating the failure was likely administrative rather than mechanical. Across the five tests the pattern is one of consistent compliance, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 38,077 miles in June 2023 to 57,274 miles in June 2025, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year for a seven‑year‑old Octavia. The increments of 12,254 miles between June 2023 and June 2024 and 6,937 miles between June 2024 and June 2025 align with normal usage for a family saloon. No prolonged idle periods or abrupt spikes appear in the record, implying steady, moderate use. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the MOT entries. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as tyre wear accelerates after 50,000 miles. Examine brake discs and pads for glazing or uneven wear, especially given the vehicle’s age. Check suspension components – shock absorbers, coil springs, and bushings – for any signs of leakage or play. A visual survey for surface corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system will confirm the absence of structural rust. Finally, confirm that all lights, indicators, and emissions control devices operate correctly, as these were unremarked in the MOT but remain essential for ongoing compliance.
