2021 Skoda Octavia SE TSI E-TEC S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric · NX71 XCJ

The vehicle presents a stable and improving roadworthiness trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 17 November 2025 at 128,937 miles with zero defects recorded. The single advisory noted in the preceding test on 18 November 2024 at 96,626 miles, concerning a Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit and worn on outer edges, appears to have been rectified prior to the most recent inspection. This transition from a minor advisory to a completely defect-free record indicates diligent remedial action and responsible ownership in the period leading up to the latest test. Mileage accumulation is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 25,787 miles per year. The interval between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests saw 32,311 miles added in a single year, which is substantial and consistent with sustained high-intensity use, likely motorway or fleet-style driving. The MOT record itself is sparse, with only two entries available, so a comprehensive service history beyond these tests would be essential to verify whether routine servicing kept pace with this aggressive mileage accumulation. Buyers should pay particular attention to the condition of the rear suspension and wheel alignment, given the outer edge wear pattern previously flagged on the nearside rear tyre, which can indicate worn suspension bushes, misaligned tracking, or a binding rear caliper. At nearly 129,000 miles, thorough inspection of brake discs, pads, coil springs, and exhaust mounting components is advisable. Structural integrity around the subframes and inner wing arches should also be examined for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used extensively in winter conditions or on salted roads.
