2017 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · GL17 YPV

This Skoda Octavia presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 84,884 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test on the same day at 84,867 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 9,432 miles per year over nine years. The distance between the May 2023 test at 66,236 miles and the May 2024 test at 75,766 miles shows a steady usage rate of roughly 9,500 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration or neglect. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last four years of testing is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no history of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. This suggests a previous owner who adhered to a strict preventative maintenance schedule rather than reacting to failures. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of typical wear areas that MOT testers occasionally overlook. Focus on the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the chassis for surface corrosion, as the clean MOT record provides no data on structural rust that does not yet compromise safety.
