2008 Skoda Octavia 1.9L Diesel · WR08 YTA

The 2025-06-06 MOT resulted in a pass , but the vehicle carried over multiple unresolved issues from the prior failed MOT on 2025-06-03. These included an oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)), rear sub-frame corrosion (5.3.3 (b) (i)), and offside rear tyre wear (5.2.3 (e)). While the failed MOT on 2025-06-03 highlighted critical brake and suspension faults—such as fluctuating front service brakes, an inoperative parking brake, and split drive shaft boots—these were presumably addressed before the subsequent pass. However, the persistence of corrosion and tyre wear suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. A recurring pattern of oil leaks and suspension component wear is evident. The 2025-06-03 MOT noted split drive shaft boots (6.1.7 (g) (ii)) and insecure suspension arm dust covers (5.3.4 (b) (ii)), which were not explicitly mentioned in the 2025-06-06 pass. This implies that while some repairs were made, potential vulnerabilities in the drivetrain and suspension may remain. The rear sub-frame corrosion (5.3.3 (b) (i)) also reappeared, indicating a structural concern that could worsen over time. The trend in defects shows no clear improvement . While the 2024 MOT was clean, the 2025 failures and lingering issues suggest increased mechanical stress .
