2021 SKODA KODIAQ SPORTLINE TSI S-A1.5L PETROL

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of deferred component replacement. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 45,364 miles passed, the tester again flagged surface pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. This issue was present during the August 2024 test, where all four brake discs were noted as worn, suggesting that the previous owner allows braking components to reach a state of significant degradation rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2024 test at 34,525 miles and the August 2025 test at 45,364 miles, the car covered 10,839 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often accounts for the surface corrosion and pitting seen on the iron brake components noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front assembly. The recurring reports of scoring on the rear discs across two years indicate either overheating or poor-quality material, which can lead to reduced stopping efficiency and judder. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge and close to the legal limit often points to an alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing. The buyer should check the front tyres for uneven wear and ensure the rear brake discs have actually been replaced since the last advisory to avoid immediate costs.
