MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Skoda Octavia (OV54 NZN) between September 2007 and March 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 27 March 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (19 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength si”; “Nearside Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength s”; “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”.
