Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a high-mileage diesel cruiser. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing without defects, which is a positive indicator for this specific vehicle.
Given the 1968cc diesel engine and the current mileage of nearly 95,000 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, particularly regarding timing belt intervals and oil changes. High-mileage diesel engines require consistent maintenance to avoid costly component failures.
When negotiating, use the higher-than-average mileage as a lever, but balance this against the fact that the vehicle has passed its last four MOT tests without a single defect recorded. Ask for proof of recent major service items that typically fall due around the 90,000-mile mark.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Octavia is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage. Tax and insurance groups for this 2018 model vary depending on the specific trim level and engine output, but it generally sits in a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items. Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should be prepared for potential costs related to brake pads and lighting components in the future.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the aggregate data for the Skoda Octavia highlights brake pads, axle swivel pins, and headlamps as common failure points. We recommend a thorough inspection of the braking system and ensuring all lighting elements are functioning correctly.
Additionally, because this vehicle has covered roughly 95,000 miles in eight years, inspect the suspension components and tyre wear patterns, which can indicate how the car has been driven on varied road surfaces.
This 2018 white Skoda Octavia features a 1968cc diesel engine and has covered 94,964 miles as of its last test in June 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,691 per year, the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record for the last four consecutive tests. It presents as a high-utilised but consistently passing example of this model.
The Skoda Octavia shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.4% across the 217,644 vehicles analysed in our database.
