2020 Skoda Octavia 1.5L Petrol · WN69 UBA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 51,587 miles resulted in a pass, the rear tyre showed perishing and cracking. This follows a concerning entry in December 2024 where both front tyres were flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on the edges. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles annually. There was a significant increase in usage between the January 2024 test at 14,827 miles and the December 2024 test at 32,331 miles, representing over 17,000 miles in under eleven months. This period of higher activity explains the rapid degradation of the front tyres noted during that inspection. Prior to this, the car saw very little use, the 2022 test recording only 3,794 miles. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the edge wear noted in late 2024 suggests potential issues with worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or incorrect camber. The perishing of the rear tyre in late 2025 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods, which can lead to rubber degradation. Verify the condition of all remaining tyres and check for further uneven wear patterns that would corroborate the previous MOT failures.
