2018 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · OE67 VFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. After three years of clean passes between 2022 and 2024, the November 2025 test revealed incorrect headlamp aim and pitted front brake discs. While the car passed the re-test on the same day, the appearance of worn brake components after a clean record suggests the owner may be waiting for MOT failure points rather than performing proactive component replacement. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, with 12,060 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 12,078 miles between November 2024 and 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has been subjected to standard operating conditions which typically results in predictable wear on rubber components and suspension bushes rather than age-related degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system in person. The recorded pitting and scoring on discs at 86,853 miles indicate they are reaching the end of their functional life and likely require replacement alongside new pads to ensure even wear. Given the previous failure regarding headlamp aim, verify that the units are securely mounted and adjustment screws are not stripped or loose. Since no structural corrosion or suspension advisories appeared in the history, the focus should remain on these mechanical consumables and the general condition of the underside components at this mileage bracket.
