2015 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · WF65 AFJ

The Skoda Octavia last passed its MOT on 14 March 2023 at 193,266 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle presented as roadworthy at that time. The maintenance trend across the supplied records shows stable compliance, with every annual test from August 2020 through March 2023 returning a pass and no advisories. A curious anomaly appears on 14 March 2023 when the tester first logged a fail at 193,265 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass at 193,266 miles; this suggests an administrative correction rather than a mechanical fault. Relative to today's date of 20 July 2026, the most recent test is over three years old, so the current roadworthiness cannot be evidenced by this history alone. Mileage accumulation reflects consistent high use for a vehicle of this age. The record shows 139,139 miles on 25 August 2020, rising to 152,904 by 18 March 2021, then 173,048 on 14 March 2022, and 193,266 on 14 March 2023. That equates to roughly 20,000 miles per year across the final three intervals, aligning with the overall average of about 17,570 miles annually since 2015. The supplied history is sparse, containing only five entries, yet each shows a clean result apart from the same-day fail-pass pair, implying previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standards without flagged neglect. A buyer must treat the absence of recorded defects as historical only. At 193,000 miles and after more than three years without a test, suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper mounts will likely exhibit fatigue not captured here. The tester never flagged binding calipers or corroded brake discs, but high-mileage drivetrain and braking components demand physical inspection. Examine exhaust emissions hardware for rust, check structural underbody for corrosion, and measure tyre tread and wiper condition. The unexplained failed entry warrants a DVSA certificate check to confirm no omitted advisory data.
