2022 Skoda Octavia SE TDI 2.0L Diesel · RY72 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on April 2 2026 at 95,550 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only recorded failure occurred just three miles prior due to a nearside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords. The immediate rectification of this defect suggests the current owner is attentive to safety-critical items, and the vehicle cleared the subsequent test without further advis. The mileage accumulation is significant for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 24,000 miles per annum. Between the April 2025 test at 51,824 miles and the April 2026 test at 95,550 miles, the car covered 43,726 miles in a single year. This high usage indicates consistent motorway driving which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage city-driven cars. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking for perished bushes or worn coil springs that fail under constant load. The braking system requires an check for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, as high-frequency use puts substantial stress on thermal friction components. While the MOT record is clean of structural corrosion, the sheer volume of miles means the service history must be verified to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals have followed the manufacturer's strict schedule.
