2017 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · OU17 WWB

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 283,593 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the full history is stable. Every annual test from 25 January 2022 through to the latest examination returned a pass with no advisories or faults noted, which indicates the vehicle has been presented in a consistently roadworthy condition over the past four years. The odometer shows heavy use for a 2017 model. Annual increments run from 141,806 miles in January 2022 to 171,492 in January 2023, 206,127 in January 2024, 240,627 in January 2025, and 283,593 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 35,000 miles per year across the recorded period, above the 31,510 miles per year average for the car's life. No gaps appear in the testing sequence, and the clean record gives no signal of neglected intervals or prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion, but high annual mileage of this order places sustained load on drivetrain components, steering joints, and subframe mountings that a visual test may not capture. Given the absence of any flagged defects, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a pass-standard regime. The lack of minor consumable notes such as tyre wear or wiper condition across five tests suggests either diligent pre-test preparation or light scrutiny at presentation; physical verification of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody rust remains prudent at 283,593 miles.
