2009 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · GF59 UNV

The vehicle currently holds an MOT rating of 193,506 miles, which is consistent with its 2009 age and typical usage pattern. The most recent test on 2025-10-20 at 193,506 miles was passed, with only minor wear on suspension components that does not affect track control. This indicates that the maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has not experienced a catastrophic breakdown in the last two years. The mileage record shows a significant gap between the 2025 test and the 2024 test, with the vehicle failing at 193,502 miles and passing at 168,187 miles. This suggests that the vehicle has accumulated approximately 25,315 miles since the 2025 MOT, which is consistent with the 11,383 miles per year average for a 2009 model. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2025 and 2024 tests indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained since the 2025 MOT, potentially leading to wear in critical components like brakes or suspension. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the 2025 test, specifically noting the worn suspension bushes and ball joints that do not affect track control. Given the history of a failed MOT in November 2024 at 168,183 miles, the vehicle must be checked for corrosion on suspension arms, brake discs, and exhaust components. The 2024 test failure on the steering linkage ball joint dust cover and excessive wear on the front suspension arm ball joint suggest that the drivetrain is in poor condition. The buyer should verify that the brakes are free of corrosion, the exhaust system is clean, and the suspension bushes are not excessively worn, as these are the most likely areas of failure given the history.
