2018 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · WN68 TGU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent test on 4 September 2023 at 77,702 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and environmental standards. Following an initial failure in October 2021, the car has undergone two consecutive inspections without any flagged issues regarding its mechanical components or structural integrity. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and September 2022, the car covered 14,198 miles, representing a period of higher activity. The subsequent interval between September 2022 and September 2023 saw a further 21,961 miles. This steady and regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for the health of seals, rubber components, and battery condition. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard components subject to wear at the 77,000-mile mark. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often begin to degrade at this mileage. Given the clean record, the brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or pitting to ensure the previous owner has maintained the braking system beyond the minimum legal requirements.
