2012 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · GL12 ACZ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 11 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. This lack of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 11,199 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 135,673 miles and the December 2025 test at 156,787 miles, the car covered 21,114 miles. This indicates regular, steady usage rather than periods of prolonged standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking components from seizing. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the DVSA record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in recent tests. Check the condition of the brake discs and tyres during a physical inspection. Given the mileage of 156,787, these consumables will require regular replacement regardless of the MOT outcome. Verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals, as the MOT record does not provide data on internal engine maintenance.
