What to know
The Octavia tests close to Skoda's own overall brand average of 76.3%, comfortably above the national average of 72.4%. It shares its underlying platform with the VW Golf (73.1%) and Audi A3 (74.08%), and tests at least as well as both despite typically being priced lower.
The Octavia has a long-standing reputation for offering more interior and boot space than its VW Group siblings at a similar price, and the MOT data backs up its reputation as one of the more dependable choices in the family hatchback and estate segment.
