2012 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · LG62 ACJ

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2023 at 365,605 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with two earlier failures on 19 October 2023 and 25 January 2022 both showing no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No worsening pattern of advisories or repairs emerges from the data supplied. At just under fourteen years old the car carries 365,605 miles, an average of roughly 26,100 miles per year and well above typical use for a 2012 hatchback. The odometer jumped from 285,465 miles at the January 2022 failure to 324,580 by September 2022, then to 365,599 by the October 2023 failure, marking steady high annual accumulation of around 40,000 miles in the final twelve months before the last test. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, recording no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any presented test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the mileage and age, as the MOT record captures only pass-day condition and omits wear between tests. High mileage of this order places severe load on drivetrain components, coil springs, and binding calipers that may not yet trigger an advisory. The two zero-defect failures imply the vehicle was presented without rectification evidence, so confirm the V5C and test certificates match the 365,605-mile figure before purchase.
