BN51 ANG MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2018 Skoda Superb (BN51 ANG) between August 2024 and August 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 14 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Other passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle (6.2.3 (a))”; “Central Front Brake pad(s) worn down to wear indicator front pads down to wear limiter (1.1.13 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Suspension unit leaking front strut leaking (5.3.5 (c))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mechanical inspection. While the mileage is reasonable for a 2018 diesel, recent MOT failures regarding suspension and brakes suggest a period of deferred maintenance.
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be the recent suspension and braking work. Ensure that the 'MAJOR' failure from August 2024—specifically the nearside front suspension unit leak and the front brake pads—has been rectified with quality parts and documented on a service invoice. Ask for proof that the shock absorbers, which showed 'misting' as early as 2023, have been fully replaced rather than just topped up or ignored.
Additionally, check the tyre condition carefully. The most recent MOT advisory in July 2025 noted a cut in the nearside rear tyre. While not a failure, it is a sign that the vehicle's rubber components are reaching the end of their life cycle. Finally, verify the service history to see if the brake fluid has been changed regularly, as multiple MOT advisories have flagged low hydraulic reservoir levels over the years.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Superb is designed for efficient long-distance motoring. You can expect competitive fuel economy, particularly on motorways, making it a cost-effective choice for high-mileage drivers. However, being a larger executive-class car, insurance groups will be moderate depending on your age and location.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for slightly higher than average due to the recent history of suspension and brake component replacements. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic timing belt/water pump changes (check the manual for the specific interval for this 1968cc engine) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) considerations if used for short city trips.
Start with a visual inspection of the suspension components. Given the 2024 MOT failure for a leaking front strut and the 2023 advisories regarding 'misting' shock absorbers, look for any signs of oil residue around the suspension struts. A firm, controlled ride is essential; any bouncing or knocking sounds over bumps could indicate the shock absorbers are still failing.
Next, inspect the braking system. The vehicle has a history of worn pads and discs appearing in MOT advisories and failures. Check the thickness of the brake pads and look for any scoring on the discs. Lastly, check the tyres; specifically, look for the cut mentioned in the 2025 MOT on the nearside rear, and ensure all four tyres have matching brands and sufficient tread depth.
This 2018 Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI is a well-used diesel cruiser with 60,870 miles on the clock. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-and-tear issues, most notably a significant failure in August 2024 involving leaking front struts and worn brake pads. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025, the history of fluid levels and suspension components indicates it requires a diligent owner.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Skoda Superb to provide a comparative model benchmark.
