2015 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · LD15 NBL

The vehicle currently holds a good roadworthiness status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 25 September 2025 at 119,461 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed any outstanding issues. This clean result follows a period of failure in September 2024, but the immediate rectification of those faults suggests a proactive approach to maintaining standards rather than a pattern of neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. With 119,461 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 10,860 miles per year since its 2015 registration. Between the September 2022 test at 88,569 miles and the September 2023 test at 98,984 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,400 miles, which aligns with the annual average. There is no evidence of long periods of stationary use that lead to degradation of rubber components, nor sudden spikes that would prematurely accelerate drivetrain or suspension wear. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake system. Given the mileage exceeds 110,000 miles, control arm bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of cracking or oil leaks. The failure in September 2024 indicates that a specific component required attention, so verifying the current brake discs for uneven wear and checking calipers for binding is prudent. Checking the underside of the chassis for corrosion is also essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle continues to age.
