2015 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · MW65 KWH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, with the most recent test on November 2 2022 at 96,064 miles resulting in no recorded defects. This indicates a period of successful maintenance following a more problematic inspection. While the 2021 record highlighted several wear-related issues, the transition to a clean pass suggests the previous owner addressed the flagged faults and maintained the vehicle effectively thereafter. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage observed between November 2020 and October 2021, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in a single year. However, the usage slowed down again to roughly 18,000 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests. This fluctuating usage suggests a vehicle used for long-distance commuting which typically correlates with accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment specifically, as the 2021 test flagged both front tyres for scrubbing the inner edges. This condition often points to out of tracking or worn suspension bushes that may require replacement if not corrected. The braking system should also be verified for binding calipers or uneven wear, given the 2021 report of thin front pads. Since the last recorded MOT is now over three years old, the current state of all rubber components and the condition of the brake fluid are critical to ensure no degradation occurred during the long interval since the 2022 inspection.
