SKODA KODIAQ2018 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2018 Skoda Kodiaq remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance profile, confirmed by the DVSA test on 29 December 2025 at 56,912 miles which passed with no defects recorded. That examination sits roughly six months before the current date of 15 July 2026, keeping the certificate fresh. Five successive annual tests from January 2022 to December 2025 returned passes and zero advisories. Such an unbroken clean record shows no worsening trend and no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by examiners. Mileage progression tracks typical light private use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 25,635 miles at the 17 January 2022 test, rose to 33,658 miles on 18 January 2023, 41,693 miles on 8 January 2024, 49,313 miles on 30 December 2024, and 56,912 miles on 29 December 2025. Yearly gains stayed within 7,600 to 8,000 miles, reflecting about 7,100 miles per annum. No test lapsed beyond statutory limits and no abrupt accumulation suggests harsh drivetrain loading. The data is sparse on faults yet consistent on coverage. Buyers should still arrange hands-on inspection of components prone to age rather than mileage degradation. The official record cites no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity, but eight years of service can crack rubber mounts or promote underbody corrosion unseen at test. Periods of low running implied by the mileage may allow brake calipers to bind or tyres to perish on sidewalls. A technician should verify free caliper movement, check subframes for rust, and assess tyre condition beyond tread depth. The absence of recorded defects implies prior owners maintained basic upkeep to pass each test, yet it does not evidence recent fluid replacement or intermittent electrical faults. An independent pre-purchase check remains sensible.
