2011 Skoda Octavia S TDI CR 1.6L Heavy oil · JFZ 2723

The vehicle presents a clean and stable MOT history with no recorded defects or advisories across the documented testing period. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 142,585 miles returned a pass with no issues identified, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic regulatory requirements. The absence of recurring failures or advisory notes regarding consumables like tyres or wiper blades indicates a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 15-year-old diesel vehicle. The record shows a steady progression from 99,926 miles in August 2021 to 142,585 miles in February 2026. This represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,500 miles, which aligns with the calculated typical mileage for this age. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest long periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty use. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection should focus on components that typically fall outside the scope of a standard MOT test. Given the mileage has surpassed 140,000, a buyer should scrutinise the timing belt and water pump service history, as these are critical for the longevity of the TDI engine. The suspension system, specifically the rear coil springs and various bushings, should be checked for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. The buyer should also verify the service history for oil changes and fuel filter replacements to ensure the diesel engine has received adequate lubrication. Although the MOT history shows no issues with braking performance, a manual check for uneven pad wear or brake disc corrosion is recommended. Checking the condition of the underside for structural rust is also prudent, as MOT testers primarily focus on significant structural integrity rather than minor surface oxidation.
