2017 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · MX17 YCB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its latest inspection. The most recent MOT conducted on 18 June 2025 at 88,098 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal road safety standards. Following a single failure in mid-2024, the vehicle has maintained a perfect record without any advisory notices or failures in the subsequent annual tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical light to moderate use, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 60,014 miles and the June 2025 test at 88,098 miles, the car covered 28,084 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The gap of 7,753 miles recorded between July 2024 and June 2025 suggests a regular operating schedule, which generally helps mitigate the risk of brake seizing or fluid degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is largely clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at the 90,000-mile threshold. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show signs of fatigue at this mileage. Since the record shows no structural issues, the buyer should still verify the brake discs for uneven wear and check the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches where corrosion can begin to manifest on Octavia of this age.
