2017 Skoda Octavia SE Sport TDI S-A 1.6L Heavy oil · VHZ 7704

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 November 2023 at 34,958 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable trend over the last three testing cycles where the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the flagging of mechanical or safety-related failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,884 miles per year. Between January 2021 at 26,099 miles and September 2022 at 32,217 miles, the car covered 6,118 miles, followed by only 2,741 miles in the year leading to the November 2023 test. While this low usage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also increases the risk of rubber-based degradation and brake corrosion due to extended periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer should check for perished or cracking on tyres and wiper blades, and inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting caused by infrequent use. The suspension bushes and control arms should be examined for dry rot to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not led to material fatigue despite the low odometer reading.
