83 out of 100
The score weighs price, history, maintenance, mileage, and more.
The British MOT figures count towards the model reliability sub-score. At the measured ages this model fails about 0,8 times as often as the British average. That average covers all cars that came on the road in the same year. This raises that sub-score by 2 out of 100, with a maximum of 4 points. The total purchase score comes out at 83/100.
This shows how much data we had, not the car's condition.

7 points for this model. 2 points have a repair amount and are listed first.
The older a car gets, the greater the chance of wear. This is about rubber and moving parts, such as suspension, drive shafts and gaskets. It applies to almost every make and model.
Parts that move wear with the distance driven. Think of the clutch, brakes and suspension. That applies to every make and model.
In 2026, 389 of the 14,193 regular Czech STK inspections had at least one defect of severity B or C. That is 2.7%. This covers cars of this model first registered in 2018, then 8 years old. Trend per year: 2022 (4 yr) 1.5% of 31,651; 2023 (5 yr) 1.8% of 9,123; 2024 (6 yr) 2.7% of 27,449; 2025 (7 yr) 3.4% of 7,396; 2026 (8 yr) 2.7% of 14,193. In Czechia a car is first tested from age 4, and after that every two years. That cycle starts at the car's own first registration. So the number of inspections differs a lot per year of age. Years that fall on the cycle carry most measurements, the years in between far fewer. A year with few measurements therefore says nothing about how the cars did. The number of inspections fell from 31,651 in 2022 to 14,193. That is 44.8% of the peak. It counts inspections, not cars that still exist. Most recorded defects (severity B/C) in 2026: Axles, wheels, tyres, suspension: within that category it most often concerned "Neschválený typ kola nebo velikost (rozměr ráfku) není v souladu s údaji, uvedenými v registru silničních vozidel.". That is the literal wording from the Czech inspection, untranslated. Nuisance: within that category it most often concerned "Únik provozních nebo jiných kapalin (které nejsou uvedeny v ostatních jednotlivých závadách), který by mohl poškodit životní prostředí nebo představovat bezpečnostní riziko pro ostatní účastníky silničního provozu.". That is the literal wording from the Czech inspection, untranslated. The count of individual codes is bounded. A tally can therefore be up to 15 observations too high, never too low. That is 2.5% of the 591 counted codes. In the Czech STK, severity A is an early signal, just like a British MOT advisory. It is not a failure, but a point to watch on a car that did pass the test. In 2026, 1,598 of the 14,193 inspections had at least one A defect. Visibility: within that category it most often concerned "Poškození zasklení (praskliny, neprůhledné nebo poškrábané sklo) o velikosti nejvíce 1/3 výšky průhledné části zasklení, které se nachází v poli výhledu řidiče směrem dopředu, mimo vymezenou část stírané plochy čelního skla nebo poškození o velikosti menší než 20 mm, které se nachází ve vymezené části stírané plochy čelního skla.". That is the literal wording from the Czech inspection, untranslated. Lighting equipment and parts of the electrical system: within that category it most often concerned "Vnější krycí sklo, těleso nebo optický systém potkávacího světlometu nebo dálkového světlometu poškozený, ale stav poškození zjevně neovlivňuje jeho fotometrické vlastnosti (např. intenzita vyzařovaného světla kresba) nebo možnost jeho seřízení.". That is the literal wording from the Czech inspection, untranslated. This model failed on a B/C defect on average 0.6× as often as all Czech cars. That comparison uses the same years of first registration and measurement. It comes from 5 measured points. This figure is context only and does not count towards the purchase score. Note: this is a share of the cars tested in this age band. It is not a chance of defects and predicts nothing for this car.
This defect pattern, Lighting equipment and parts of the electrical system, is among the most common defects at this age in United Kingdom, Netherlands (recent picture (last 3 years)). Each country measured this separately, not combined into one figure.

According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), Octavia has KH 11-19 (scale 10-25), VK 10-20 (scale 10-34), TK 13-24 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 263 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.

Three things you can check yourself:
We do not see every earlier mileage reading. Ask the seller for service invoices and inspection reports that show the mileage. Compare those with the current reading.
There is no public damage database we may use. So we do not invent one. Do you have doubts about earlier damage? Then have the car inspected independently by a qualified garage or inspection service.
We cannot see what work has been done on the car. Nor how it stands today. Ask for the service book and the invoices. Judge the condition yourself when you view the car and on the test drive.
Missing information
The purchase score, the risk assessments and the advice in this report come from an automated analysis.
That analysis uses general model knowledge and the data available at that moment. This is not a technical inspection and gives no guarantee about the condition of the car. Plateop accepts no liability for decisions you take on the basis of this report. If in doubt, always have a car inspected by an independent expert before you decide.
