2022 Skoda Octavia SE TSI E-TEC S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric · NX22 WGC

The vehicle presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 1 April 2026 at 77,401 miles passed with zero defects, and the preceding test on 2 April 2025 at 61,051 miles also passed with zero defects. This consecutive clean-sheet record indicates a resolving or consistently well-maintained trend, with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a 2022-registered vehicle. Between the two recorded MOT entries, the car covered 16,350 miles in roughly twelve months, bringing the total to 77,401 miles by April 2026. That equates to approximately 19,350 miles per year, well above the typical UK average of 7,000 to 10,000 miles annually. Such sustained high mileage accelerates wear on consumable components, including brake discs and pads, tyres, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, even if no defects have yet presented at test time. Despite the clean MOT record, the high annual mileage warrants a thorough in-person inspection of key wear items. A buyer should examine the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads for lipping and thickness, check all four tyres for uneven wear patterns that could indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues, and inspect the coil springs and suspension bushes for deterioration. The exhaust system and DPF function deserve attention given the likelihood of prolonged motorway or mixed-use driving. Structural integrity also merits close scrutiny. High-mileage vehicles are more susceptible to corrosion on subframes, sills, and around mounting points, particularly if operated in salted winter conditions. A physical underbody inspection is advisable to confirm the absence of rust or previous repairs that the MOT may not have captured. The clean record is encouraging, but the usage intensity means proactive maintenance checks remain essential before purchase.
