2012 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · LG62 ABO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 at 240,660 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without recorded faults over the last four years, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is exceptionally high for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 17,190 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the odometer increasing from 215,459 miles in June 2022 to 240,660 miles by July 2025. This represents a consistent accumulation of approximately 25,000 miles over three years. The lack of defects during this period of heavy use indicates the car has been well-kept despite the high wear and tear associated with such distances. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical components that the MOT test may not fully quantify. Given the 240,660 total miles, the condition of the timing belt, water pump, and clutch should be verified via service receipts. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts are likely nearing the end of their natural lifespan due to the cumulative mileage. Check for any signs of chassis corrosion or oil leaks around the engine and gearbox. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the high mileage increases the risk of sudden failure in drivetrain components. A manual check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is recommended to ensure consumables are not due for immediate replacement.
