2019 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Petrol · SL19 PXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in September 2025 at 77,305 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive. The car failed just one day prior to that successful test at 77,295 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. This defect was rectified immediately, suggesting that the previous owner was willing to address safety-critical mechanical failures once flagged, rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK-average use, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year over the seven-year period. The record shows a steady progression from 35,428 miles in August 2022 to 77,305 miles in September 2025. There are no significant gaps suggesting long-term storage which would typically lead to dry-rotted tyres or fluid degradation between tests. The consistent accumulation indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally helps prevent the internal corrosion of de-greased seals and rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension assembly, as the fractured coil spring at 77,295 miles indicates these components are under significant stress at this mileage. Check the remaining springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue and inspect the shock arm bushings for tearing. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit at 58,806 miles suggests a previous lapse in alignment monitoring or basic maintenance intervals. Verify that current tyre wear patterns are even to ensure no lingering geometry issues remain from the MOT tester did not capture.
