2016 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · LS66 TFY

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 49,485 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2021. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 2016 car. The record shows 26,305 miles at the 29 September 2021 test, rising to 33,771 by 26 September 2022, 37,371 on 3 August 2023, 43,929 on 8 July 2024, and 49,485 on 14 July 2025. That averages roughly 4,900 miles per year. The gaps between tests never exceed thirteen months, and the low accumulated distance suggests light use or extended standing periods rather than neglected high-mileage wear. With five consecutive passes and zero advisories, the MOT data reveals no flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as the tester may not have raised the car on every visit. Low-mileage vehicles left standing often develop perished rubber components and surface structural rust invisible to a static test. Check the brake calipers for binding after prolonged inactivity and verify tyre sidewall condition given the age of the original fitment. The clean record implies a careful prior owner, but the DVSA sheet alone cannot certify ongoing consumable integrity beyond each test date.
