2023 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · MX71 CUY

The only MOT on file is a clean pass from February 2026 at 36,172 miles with no defects recorded. That is a strong starting point for a three-year-old car, but it tells us nothing about what may have happened before that first test or what might be developing now. Mileage of around 12,000 a year is listed as high for this age. In practice it points to consistent everyday use, likely on a mix of roads. That kind of regular driving can be gentler on a car than low-mileage stop-start town work, but it does mean consumables like tyres, brake pads, and discs will have accumulated noticeable wear. With no advisories at the test, those items were judged satisfactory four months ago, but a buyer needs to confirm their current state. Because there is only one MOT snapshot, the trend is neither worsening nor improving—it is simply unconfirmed. The clean pass works in your favour, but it is not enough to skip a thorough inspection. The biggest risk with a short history is that intermittent faults, early oil leaks, or suspension bush degradation could go undetected between tests. Check the full digital service record first.
