2014 Skoda Octavia 1.4L Petrol · SV64 YRK

The Skoda Octavia presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 67,485 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories across the available history. The owner cleared the 2025 and 2024 tests only after initial administrative failures logged on the same dates with no defects recorded, suggesting clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2014 vehicle. In the 11 October 2023 test at 52,751 miles, the car then covered 6,939 miles to the 9 October 2024 test at 59,690 miles, and a further 7,795 miles to the 6 October 2025 test at 67,485 miles. This equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, well below typical fleet averages. Low annual mileage combined with the same-day fail and pass entries in 2024 and 2025 implies the car spent periods lightly driven or stationary between tests. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions concerns across any test. A clean sheet with zero advisories over three years is a positive signal of basic upkeep, though it does not confirm hidden wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades that testers may not have noted. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, given the vehicle's twelve years. Verify the brake calipers are free and the suspension joints show no play. Confirm the same-day failures in 2024 and 2025 were administrative, and request the full test certificates to rule out omitted minor defects before purchase.
