2021 Skoda Octavia SE TSI 1.0L Petrol · GJ71 LFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by clean passes across the last three annual inspections. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2026 at 68,624 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency suggests a proactive maintenance approach where the previous owners have ensured the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards without allowing minor mechanical or structural issues to develop into failures. The mileage pattern indicates consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,700 miles per annum. Between the April 2024 test at 54,556 miles and the June 2025 test at 61,554 miles, the car covered 7,000 miles in just fourteen months, followed by another 7,070 miles leading up to the May 2026 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle is likely used for motorway commuting, which typically results in less wear on clutches and brakes compared to short-distance city driving. While the MOT record shows no history of failure, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as the high mileage puts significant stress on the chassis assembly. The brake discs should also be checked for thinness or signs of scoring, given that the record does not flag binding calipers or uneven wear. Given the age and mileage, verifying the integrity of the timing belt and the condition of the fluids remains essential to ensure the long-term reliability of the TSI engine.
