2014 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · WD63 WRA

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 201,124 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied record, with every pass since December 2022 showing a clean sheet and no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The duplicate entry for 29 January 2026, where a fail was logged at the same mileage with no defects cited before the pass, points to an administrative or data anomaly rather than a genuine fault. The mileage pattern reflects high use for a 2014 car. From the 22 December 2022 test at 134,161 miles to the 15 December 2023 test at 162,839 miles the car covered 28,678 miles in under a year. By 4 January 2025 it reached 189,670 miles, then climbed to 201,124 miles by January 2026, averaging roughly 16,760 miles annually overall. Such accumulation implies sustained motorway or business use, which loads suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake discs more than occasional urban driving. Given the clean MOT history, the record itself flags no recurring corrosion, binding calipers, or worn coil springs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes, as DVSA testers at 200,000 miles may record no advisory yet miss progressive rust. Verify the genuine condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions under load. The high mileage and absent advisories suggest previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. The 11,454-mile gap between January 2025 and January 2026 is the lowest annual increment in the data, possibly indicating reduced use ahead of sale.
