2010 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · LD60 BLX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass recorded on 5 January 2026 at 166,847 miles. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern where the car fails and then passes during the same testing session, suggesting that minor remedial work is being carried out to rectify issues identified by the tester. This indicates an owner who is proactive in addressing MOT failures rather than allowing defects to persist, which is a positive indicator for long-term mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady increase from 150,875 miles in January 2024 to 166,847 miles in January 2026. This represents an average of approximately 7,986 miles per year over the last two years, which is slightly lower than the historical average of 10,428 miles per year. This gradual increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway commuting. While the recent records show no specific mechanical defects, the recurring failures in January 2025 and January 2026 warrant a closer physical inspection of consumable components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension system for worn bushes or leaking dampers and check the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring. Given the age and mileage, inspecting the underside for structural corrosion and checking the condition of the exhaust system is also advised to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred between test intervals.
