2018 Skoda Octavia 1.5L Petrol · WA18 YLG

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, passing its most recent test in April 2026 with 91,905 miles. The only recorded fault was a minor advisory regarding a damaged offside rear lower reflector, which is a cosmetic defect that does not indicate mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has avoided major structural failures or recurring mechanical defects over the last four years of testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered 17,827 miles in a single year. However, the usage has moderated since, with 37,647 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2026 tests. This suggests the vehicle is used regularly and has likely been maintained under active operation rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 54,258 miles flagged thin brake pads on all four wheels along with worn discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the high mileage suggests that these components may be nearing the end of their service life. You should verify the remaining thickness of the pads and check for any scoring or pitting on the discs to ensure they were replaced following that previous advisory. Given the mileage exceeding 90,000 miles, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as these are common points of wear on this model. The record does not show any structural corrosion or fluid leaks, which is a positive indicator for the chassis's overall integrity. Beyond the brake components and the aforementioned reflector, the MOT history reflects a well-kept vehicle with no immediate red flags.
