2017 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · LS67 OHA

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, but the report highlights a few immediate concerns that a buyer should address. There is a persistent mechanical pattern regarding the front suspension. Both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers have been recorded as misting oil since May 2025. Because this issue has remained on the record for over a year without being rectified, the seals are likely failing and the components are nearing the end of their service life. The overall condition trend is worsening. While the car had a clean record in 2022, 2023, and 2024, the most recent test now adds worn front tyres to the existing shock absorber issues. Both front tyres are currently worn close to the legal limit, meaning they will require immediate replacement. The recorded mileage of 52,882 is low for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,876 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has seen lighter-than-average use, though low mileage can sometimes be associated with periods of standing which may contribute to the degradation of rubber components and seals. When inspecting the car in person, you should first check the tread depth and condition of the front tyres.
