2014 Skoda Octavia 1.2L Petrol · GK64 FFL

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 70,022 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since at least 2020. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work to meet statutory standards across five successive examinations. Annual mileage sits well below typical class averages for a 2014 hatchback. The record shows 43,152 miles in August 2020, rising to 48,642 by August 2021, then a gap to 61,606 miles by August 2023 after no 2022 entry. Coverage resumes at 65,849 miles in July 2024 and 70,022 in August 2025. The roughly 5,835 miles per year average reflects light use, though the missing 2022 test and the 13,000-mile jump between 2021 and 2023 suggest either a period of storage or reduced recording rather than sustained high wear. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories over five years implies previous owners kept basic statutory upkeep current, but it does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, or underbody corrosion. Low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber components and surface structural rust unseen by the annual test. The buyer should physically inspect subframe integrity, check for binding calipers through road trial, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the long dormancy implied by the mileage gaps. No recurring defects emerge to flag a worsening pattern. The absence of any failure or advisory across the timeline points to a conservatively used vehicle, yet a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to assess wear not captured by MOT scope.
