2011 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Petrol · WL11 KAO

The 2011 Skoda Octavia holds a roadworthy status following the most recent MOT pass on 24 July 2025 at 85,708 miles, with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend stays stable across the three-year history. DVSA data shows a fail and pass on the same date in both July 2024 and July 2025, each carrying zero noted defects, implying any rejection trigger was cleared pre-pass or arose from administrative anomaly. No advisories appeared since the 7 July 2023 pass at 76,953 miles. Odometer readings confirm low usage for a fifteen-year-old hatchback. The tests chart 76,953 miles in July 2023, 81,452 miles in July 2024, and 85,708 miles in July 2025, a yearly gain near 4,500 miles. This sits below the approximate 5,714 miles per annum baseline and points to light commuting or extended standing. The clean sheets with no tyre, brake, or corrosion flags suggest previous owners met minimum legal upkeep, though the sparse defect data reveals little about consumable wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT entries omit. The records flag no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, yet a 2011 Octavia with low mileage may hide dried rubber mounts or surface rust in sills from intermittent use. Check brake discs for wear lip and test calipers for binding despite the absence of advisories. Verify exhaust emissions under cold start given potential infrequent runs, and scrutinise tyre sidewalls for cracking after long stationary periods.
