2017 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · K90 FAD

The latest MOT, taken on 7 August 2025 at 75,300 miles, returned a clean pass. No defects were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle has consistently passed each annual test with no issues flagged, suggesting that previous owners have maintained the car to a satisfactory level. With 75,300 miles on a 9‑year‑old Skoda Octavia, the average annual mileage is roughly 8,367 miles, comfortably within the typical range for its class. The annual gaps between tests—August 2021, August 2022, August 2023, August 2024, and August 2025—show a steady, linear increase in mileage without sudden spikes, implying regular use rather than periods of neglect or heavy use. A buyer should, however, examine the wear items that an MOT may not detect. Check tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear that could indicate suspension or steering issues. Inspect brake pads and discs for glazing or uneven wear, and verify that the brake calipers and linkages are free of binding. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for softening or cracking, and look for play in the steering rack. Inspect the underbody for rust, especially around the wheel arches and frame, and confirm the integrity of the exhaust system. Finally, verify that the battery, alternator, and starter are operating correctly and that all fluid levels—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid—are within normal limits.
