2014 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · MT64 YKP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-03 at 122,022 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The single failed test on 2023-11-28 at 103,467 miles was recorded as failed but noted no defects, which may reflect procedural errors or minor non-roadworthy issues resolved before the subsequent pass on 2023-11-29. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the history, supporting a conclusion of acceptable roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,022 miles aligns with an average annual usage of ~10,168 miles, typical for its 12-year age. A gap between the 2019 MOT (57,947 miles) and the 2023 test (103,470 miles) suggests a period of reduced activity, potentially increasing the risk of component degradation from inactivity. Subsequent tests show steady mileage progression, with no abrupt spikes or drops. The absence of defects in the last four MOTs, despite the 2023 failure, implies no systemic issues requiring urgent attention. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for wear, as even minor issues can escalate over time. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance, especially in body seams, warrant scrutiny, as these are common areas for deterioration in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden damage or unresolved issues from the 2023 failure.
