2015 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · GD15 HBU

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT from the 2026 test, confirming that its mechanical condition remains within legal limits as of today. The MOT history indicates a consistent pattern of maintenance that has been adequate for the vehicle's age, with no evidence of a deteriorating trend in the overall roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation reflects an accumulation of wear on consumables and suspension components, particularly noticeable in the 2026 test where the tester flagged offside rear registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources. This indicates that the vehicle has been driven at a speed significantly higher than the recommended 110 km/h, resulting in accelerated degradation of the registration plate and various suspension components. Given the specific faults observed in the 2026 test, including corrosion of undertrays, worn brake discs, and a nearside windscreen wiper that does not clear the windscreen effectively, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers. A thorough visual and tactile inspection is required to verify that these components are functioning correctly and that there is no evidence of corrosion or wear that could compromise the vehicle's safety.
