2014 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · LC14 KXY

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in May 2026 at 132,774 miles. This recent result indicates that any previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or have not progressed to a failure. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing without major defects or recurring failures, suggesting the owner has maintained the car to a functional standard over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 86,067 miles and May 2026 at 132,774 miles, the car covered over 46,000 miles, reflecting regular and predictable usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in testing periods or sudden spikes in mileage, which typically helps prevent seal degradation in rubber components due to standing. The only technical flag in the record was light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber noted during the April 2025 test at 115,555 miles. While this did not result in a failure at that time, a buyer should inspect the damper for signs of active leaking to ensure the component is not nearing failure. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake system wear, as these are common points of fatigue on the Octavia platform at the 130,000-mile mark.
