2012 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · MR05 KLP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend in its recent history. The most recent test in February 2026 at 138,764 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in March 2024 and a single minor failure in March 2025 regarding a non-functional nearside front indicator, which indicates that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults once they are identified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,863 miles, followed by a further 4,823 miles recorded in the final year leading up to the latest test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven frequently, which often helps prevent the seal failures and brake corrosion typically associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should verify the braking system during a physical inspection, as the March 2023 test at 122,124 miles flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin pads. While these were clearly replaced given the subsequent clean passes, the high mileage warrants a check of the current pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing. Given the age of the Octavia, a close inspection of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts is also advisable, as these components are common points of failure on vehicles approaching the 140,000-mile mark.
