2022 Skoda Octavia SE TSI 1.5L Petrol · KY71 UBG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on January 27 2026 with 79,441 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a minor adjustment failure in early 2025. The transition from a failed test to a clean pass in the subsequent inspection suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues identified by the tester. The mileage accumulation indicates high usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, the Octavia covered 25,883 miles in just twelve months. This rapid rate of travel suggests consistent long-distance motorway use, which typically places less strain on suspension components compared to city driving but accelerates the wear cycle of the drivetrain, turbocharger, and exhaust system. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, the high mileage requires a buyer to perform a physical inspection of components prone to accelerated wear. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as well as the thickness of the brake discs and pads. Given the mileage density, the buyer should also check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay and ensure the tyres have consistent tread patterns to avoid uneven wear which would indicate alignment issues.
