2015 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · JS02 AJS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 20 June 2025 with 92,517 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved clean passes following minor re-tests. While the record shows two failures immediately preceding these passes, the subsequent results with no recorded defects suggest the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to bring the vehicle up to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for an Octavia, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 73,192 miles and June 2025 at 92,517 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in under two years. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components and seals compared to long periods of standing stationary. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a proactive approach to annual testing schedules. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the failures in August 2023 and 2025, as the specific defect codes were not listed in this summary. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the front suspension control arm bushes and coil springs is advisable, as these are common points of wear on this platform. The buyer should also look for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and check the condition of brake lines to ensure no hidden degradation is developing despite the clean MOT pass results.
