Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Verify the full service history to ensure the 1.0L TSI engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, check for any evidence of recent major component replacements. Use the single MOT failure for headlamp alignment as a prompt to ensure all electrical lighting is functioning correctly.
Equipped with a 999cc petrol engine and Euro 6 AP status, this vehicle is ULEZ compliant and offers efficient fuel economy for its class. Insurance costs for the SE Technology trim are generally moderate, and the small engine size typically places it in a lower tax bracket.
Annual running costs will include standard VED tax, insurance, and routine maintenance. Based on the engine size and model type, these costs are typically competitive for a car of this size.
Inspect the rear adult seatbelts carefully; the MOT records from 2023 and 2026 note that child seats prevented a full inspection of these belts. Check the headlamp alignment to ensure the 2024 failure was correctly rectified.
Additionally, pay close attention to the tyres, suspension arms, and brakes. Aggregate data for the Octavia shows these as the most common failure points across 7,853 analysed vehicles, making them key areas for a pre-purchase inspection.
This blue 2020 Skoda Octavia SE Technology TSI has covered 69,353 miles. Its MOT history shows four passes and one failure, with the single failure in 2024 being limited to headlamp aim. The vehicle's recorded mileage is closely aligned with the model average of 11,004 miles per year.
The Octavia demonstrates a strong reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 90.3% across the analysed dataset.
