2022 Skoda Octavia SE Technology TSI 1.5L Petrol · KY22 TYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on July 15, 2025 at 21,514 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern where a mechanical failure was addressed immediately by the owner. While the initial test failed at 21,476 miles due to a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber, the subsequent pass confirms the component was replaced or repaired to meet standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,378 miles per year. This low usage suggests light mechanical stress, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components. The short 38-mile interval between the failure and the pass in July 2025 indicates a proactive owner who responded to faults without delay. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from dry rot in tyres or degraded rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the offside rear suspension to ensure the replacement shock was fitted correctly and that no residual leaks remain on the mounting hardware. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, which can occur regardless of tread depth. The overall record is clean of structural corrosion or recurring brakerelated issues, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained despite its low usage.
