2017 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · LC67 AON

The most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 83,204 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Octavia continues to meet the statutory roadworthiness criteria. The uninterrupted sequence of passes from 2021 through 2025 shows a stable maintenance pattern, with no recurring advisories or failures emerging over the four‑year span. Mileage has risen from 35,139 miles in August 2021 to 83,204 miles in July 2025, averaging roughly 12,000 miles per annum. This progression aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old family saloon and reveals no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. The incremental increases between each annual test – 10,735 miles to 2022, 12,906 miles to 2023, 14,311 miles to 2024 and 10,113 miles to 2025 – suggest consistent, moderate driving rather than excessive strain. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of wear‑related components that the MOT does not flag. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as high mileage can accelerate tyre wear. Examine the suspension – check for play in the front lower control arms, rear trailing arms, and condition of the coil springs and bushings. Test the braking system for even pedal feel and listen for any squeal that could indicate worn pads or glazed discs. Finally, scan the under‑carriage for any early signs of corrosion or exhaust leaks, especially around the rear pipe and mounting brackets, to ensure structural integrity remains sound.
