4 How it compares with other 2011 Octavias

Against every Skoda Octavia first used in 2011 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (10,067 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2011 OctaviaWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts8 of 13 (62%)63.8% in 2025In line with the group figure
Fails, first attempts4 of 1330.2% of first testsIn line with the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)16.0% of first tests1 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (26 Nov 2025)98,942 miles116,308 (middle half 89,803–147,136)Inside the middle half; not an outlier
Clean passes (no advisories)3 of 1323.1% of first testsIn line with the group figure

"Typical" is every Skoda Octavia first used in 2011, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

  2. On this carLamps & visibility. item fixed during the test recorded in the last two years (2020, 2021, 2022, 2025). Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.

  4. Nothing recentBrakes. A top failure area for 2011 Octavias. Recorded on this car in 2020, 2024, nothing in the last two years. Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.
