2015 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · LM65 MVG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent history indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. While the car passed its MOT on 10 October 2025 at 91,310 miles, it had failed exactly one day prior. The failure identified a defective nearside rear reflector alongside an offside front tyre nearing the legal limit and perished offside rear tyres. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to achieve passing suggests the owner is reactive to test failures rather than performing proactive consumable replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 22,885 miles between the September 2024 test at 68,425 miles and the October 2025 test at 91,310 miles. This represents a higher rate of usage compared to the previous years where the car covered only 27,504 miles over a 16-month period. This increase in driving miles places higher demand on rubber components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the offside front tyre was noted for wearing on the edge, which often indicates poor alignment or worn ball joints. The perishing on the offside rear tyre suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods or been fitted low-quality rubber compounds. Since no structural corrosion or brake failures were flagged in the history, the chassis appears stable, but a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure the recent mileage spike has not caused uneven wear.
