2011 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · MF61 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The September 2025 test at 86,541 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful result in August 2024 at 81,954 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 5,769 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Between the September 2022 test at 71,373 miles and the August 2023 test at 77,323 miles, the car covered 5,950 miles. The subsequent increase from 77,323 miles in 2023 to 81,954 miles in 2024 shows a consistent annual pattern. This low-mileage usage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mileage counterparts. The single failure recorded on 24 August 2023 at 77,323 miles was resolved immediately, as the vehicle passed the retest on the same day. Because no specific defect was logged for that failure, the cause remains unconfirmed, though the immediate pass suggests a minor issue was rectified. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust corrosion across the recorded history is a positive indicator of general upkeep. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of rubber components and fluids, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from perished hoses or seals due to age rather than wear. Given the consistent mileage, the buyer should check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension component degradation that the MOT testing process might not have flagged. The overall record suggests a well-maintained vehicle with a predictable usage pattern.
