2020 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · SH53 DOG

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-09 confirmed the 2020 Skoda Octavia passed with minor issues: a damaged windscreen (not affecting visibility) and an offside rear brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. No towball/hitch was fitted at the time. These findings align with previous MOT records, indicating recurring concerns about windscreen damage and brake component wear. The 2024-06-11 MOT also noted a damaged windscreen, while the 2023-06-29 test highlighted multiple tyres (front and rear) worn close to legal limits. These patterns suggest consistent attention to tyre condition and occasional impact damage to the windscreen. However, no major safety-critical failures were recorded in the last three years, and the vehicle has maintained passing status. The trend shows no clear worsening of issues. Windscreen damage and tyre wear remained consistent, but brake disc wear in 2025 was a new but non-serious finding. The vehicle’s mileage of 48,220 miles over six years equates to roughly 8,037 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though lower mileage could imply periods of inactivity, while higher mileage might accelerate component degradation.
