2011 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Petrol · SB11 FMK

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test passed on 22 November 2024 at 90,073 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clean bill of health at the latest examination and no outstanding advisories carried forward from prior years. The recorded mileage of 90,073 against a 2011 registration equates to circa 6,005 miles per year, a typical accumulation for a vehicle of this age. Between the 14 November 2022 test at 80,438 miles and the 14 November 2023 test at 86,857 miles the car covered 6,419 miles, then 3,216 miles to the November 2024 test. The DVSA record is sparse, listing only pass and fail outcomes with no defects noted on any entry, so no wear pattern or consumable replacement history can be inferred from the data supplied. The November 2024 and November 2022 records each show a failed test logged on the same date and mileage as a subsequent pass, with no defects recorded against either failure. This suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection on grounds such as brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should nonetheless commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly to subframe and sills, and verify the braking system and coil springs given the vehicle's fifteen years in service. Given the absence of advisories across all five entries, previous keepers appear to have maintained the Octavia to a baseline that satisfied annual statutory testing. The identical same-day fail-and-pass pairs warrant clarification from the selling garage as to their cause, but the technical record itself raises no red flag on drivetrain, suspension, or safety-critical components.
