2020 Skoda Octavia 1.0L Petrol · GL20 GHD

The most recent MOT on 20 August 2025 recorded a pass at 145,450 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that date. No defects were logged, and the earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also returned passes with no advisory items, suggesting a stable maintenance record over the last three years. Mileage has risen sharply. From 56,145 miles in July 2023 to 70,400 miles in July 2024 reflects a modest 14,255‑mile increase, but the jump to 145,450 miles by August 2025 adds roughly 75,000 miles in just over one year. At six years old, the average of 24,200 miles per annum is well above typical usage, implying accelerated wear on consumables and potential stress on suspension, drivetrain and braking components. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to tyre tread depth, sidewall condition and uniform wear, as high mileage often accelerates tyre degradation. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of uneven wear or knocking, which can emerge after intensive use. Examine brake discs and pads for glazing or thinning, and verify that calipers operate without binding. A visual check for corrosion on the chassis, exhaust system and under‑body panels is prudent, as prolonged mileage can exacerbate rust in vulnerable areas. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a thorough in‑person assessment of these wear‑related items will confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
