2020 Skoda Octavia SE Technology TDI 2.0L Diesel · LM70 ABO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of mechanical integrity. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 58,687 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test four days earlier on 10 October 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a six year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 42,541 miles in October 2023 to 51,176 miles by October 2024, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,600 miles per year. The most recent interval between October 2024 and October 2025 saw an increase of 7,511 miles, confirming the car has not suffered from long periods of standing which can often lead to seized calipers or perished seals. The absence of any advisories across the last four years of testing is unusual and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear. The record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures, which are common concerns for diesel vehicles of this age. A physical inspection should focus on standard consumables that the MOT tester may have overlooked or deemed acceptable but are nearing the end of their service life. Check the remaining tread depth on all four tyres and inspect the brake pads for wear. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is the primary priority, as the MOT record alone does not confirm these essential engine maintenance tasks.
