2022 Skoda Enyaq IV 80 Electric · BT22 ADX

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a worsening trend in consumable maintenance, specifically regarding tyre condition. While the car passed its most recent test on 19 June 2026 at 46,165 miles, this followed an immediate failure during the same session at 46,163 miles. The failure was significant, involving multiple tyre defects including exposed cords on the nearside rear and offside rear inner tyres, a structural tear on the nearside rear, and several tyres worn close to the legal limit. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these faults were addressed suggests the issues were resolved through replacement rather than indicating a deeper mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The car covered 9,668 miles between the 11 August 2025 test at 36,497 miles and the June 2026 test at 46,165 miles. This equates to roughly 9,600 miles per year, which aligns with the overall average of 11,541 miles per year calculated over its four-year lifespan. The data shows no evidence of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that might suggest irregular use patterns. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wheel assemblies. The June 2026 failure indicates a period where tyre maintenance was neglected, so it is essential to verify that all four tyres are currently of an acceptable brand and have sufficient tread depth. Check the sidewalls for any remaining cracking or perishing, particularly on the nearside front as noted in the passing advisory. Since the failures involved structural issues like exposed cords and tears, inspect the wheel arches and rims for any signs of impact damage that may have caused these punctures or separations. Beyond the tyres, the clean MOT record from August 2025 suggests that the underlying mechanical and structural components were in good condition at that time. However, given the recent focus on tyre replacement, a thorough check of the suspension components and alignment is advisable to ensure that any previous impact or uneven wear has not compromised the bushings or steering geometry.
