2010 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · PX60 SYG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 69,266 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside front tyre showing signs of cracking. This follows four years of clean records from 2021 through 2024, indicating that the vehicle has historically avoided significant mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2010 Octavia, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 63,486 miles and September 2025 at 69,266 miles, the car covered only 5,780 miles. This low rate of use suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid seals that MOT tests may not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. The 2025 advisory on the perishing tyre indicates that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite the low mileage, necessitating a check of all tyre sidewalls for dry rot. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough inspection of the chassis for corrosion and an assessment of the suspension bushes is required, as these elements suffer from environmental exposure regardless of how many miles the car has driven.
