2016 Skoda Octavia Greenline III TDI CR 1.6L Heavy oil · GC65 RYO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance trend showing significant improvement in recent years. The most recent MOT conducted in February 2026 at 96,843 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and consumable issues have been addressed. This follows a clean result in early 2025 and 2022, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage over the years, such as the 6,900 miles driven between December 2022 and December 2023, and nearly 1,000 miles between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This regular accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which benefits the seals and rubber components by preventing dry rot or neglect. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension, as the record flags recurring oil misting shock absorbers in 2020 and 2023. While these were not noted in later tests, a buyer should verify that the dampers remain dry and free of signs of leaking. The brake system also warrants a check; the tester flagged thin rear pads in late 2023, and while subsequent clean tests imply replacement, the discs should be inspected for signs of thinning or uneven wear. The history also notes past issues with tyre neglect and damage between 2019 and 2020. Given the more recent clean records, the buyer should simply verify the current tyre tread depth and sidewalls for perishing or impact cuts. The absence of structural corrosion advisories across the entire history is a positive indicator of the integrity of the chassis and underbody.
