2011 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · WG61 AEB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2025 at 149,511 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial inspection but passed shortly after, suggesting that the owner addresses faults only when mandated by law rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 127,762 miles and the April 2024 test at 137,629 miles, the car covered 9,867 miles. A further 11,882 miles were recorded between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and seals. While the digital record does not list specific defect codes for the failures, the recurring nature of the retests suggests that items such as suspension bushes, light bulbs, or exhaust components are frequently reaching the end of their service life. A buyer should inspect the chassis for structural corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, which is common for this age. Given the mileage, a close look at the shock absorber condition and the thickness of the brake discs is necessary, as these components are high-wear items on Octavias of this era.
