2014 Skoda Octavia S TDI CR 1.6L Diesel · YT64 HVD

The 2025-12-02 MOT at 97,413 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend, as all previous tests from 2022 through 2024 also recorded passes with no defects. The mileage record shows roughly 8,100 miles per year over the vehicle’s 12‑year life, with the largest jump occurring between the 2024-01-24 and 2024-12-17 tests, when the odometer rose from 86,346 to 92,557 miles, a gain of 6,211 miles in ten months; the interval between the 2024-12-17 and 2025-12-02 tests was 13 months, adding only 2,856 miles, which is consistent with normal use. The 2022 test flagged light oil misting on both front shock absorbers, a sign that the suspension seals may be deteriorating, and noted worn but not seriously weakened front brake discs and pitting on the near‑side and off‑side front discs; these recurring brake and suspension observations suggest the owner has not replaced consumables promptly, and the buyer should verify the condition of the shock absorber mounts, bushings and brake disc thickness during a physical inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension for oil leakage, check the thickness and surface of the front brake discs for excessive wear, inspect the tyre tread and sidewall condition, and look for any signs of structural rust or damage to the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as the MOT history records no explicit rust findings but does not cover a full structural assessment.
