2019 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · ME19 JFV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a clear upward trend in maintenance quality. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 79,127 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified earlier in that year were addressed. While the car suffered failures in mid-2025, the subsequent clean pass suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying MOT-related failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between July 2023 at 41,088 miles and May 2025 at 56,331 miles, covering over 15,000 miles in nearly two years. However, the vehicle has covered another 22,700 miles in the seven months leading up to December 2025, which indicates accelerated wear on suspension components and braking assemblies. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure previous repairs were effective. The failure in May 2025 specifically flagged a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and a rear bush. While these passed the subsequent test, rubber components should be checked for further cracking or tearing given the recent high-mile accumulation. The offside front tyre wear noted in September 2024 suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven camber, which should be verified across all remaining tyres to prevent premature degradation.
