2016 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · R10 BAE

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record with five consecutive passes and no defects or advisories recorded at any test. The most recent certificate, issued on 20 October 2025 at 96,676 miles, confirms a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. Nothing in the history suggests a worsening trend; the absence of any advisory notes across the full five-year period points to consistent upkeep rather than a vehicle merely scraping through each annual inspection. The mileage pattern is steady and typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2021 test at 57,430 miles and the October 2025 test at 96,676 miles, the car covered roughly 9,800 miles per year. There are no unusually large gaps between tests or sudden spikes in mileage, which suggests regular daily use rather than prolonged standing periods or heavy commercial-style workload. The recorded figures align closely with the expected average for its age. With no failures or advisories on file, the MOT history flags no specific mechanical or structural concerns. However, a buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and callipers in person. The car is approaching the 100,000-mile threshold, where wear on shock absorbers, control arm bushes, and clutch components becomes more common. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage would confirm the condition of these high-wear items, particularly since the last recorded test is now roughly ten months old and the vehicle has not been examined since.
