2009 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · GU09 UOR

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 121,847 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests in October 2024 at 110,740 miles, November 2023 at 98,482 miles, and March 2023 at 92,418 miles all passed cleanly. The duplicate 16 March 2023 entry shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects listed, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 7,167 across the car's 17-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show no large gaps or sudden accumulation: the car covered roughly 6,300 miles between March and November 2023, then about 8,300 over the following year to October 2024, and 11,100 to the 2025 test. The MOT history is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged across the supplied entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 2009 build date and 121,847 miles. The clean test record offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or failing emissions, but DVSA checks at test centres do not strip components. Pre-purchase checks should target tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid condition as basic consumables. The absence of recorded faults suggests previous owners kept the car to minimum statutory standard, though no data exists before March 2023 to confirm earlier care patterns.
