2020 SKODA KODIAQ SE L TSI S-A1.5L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass in April 2024 at 33,009 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the failure recorded in March 2024 at 32,762 miles did not produce any documented defects on the official record. This suggests the previous failure may have been due to an administrative technicality or a minor component issue that was immediately rectified, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural deficiency. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 33,009 miles averages out to approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage profile typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system compared to higher-mileage examples. However, the short interval between the March 2024 failure and the April 2024 pass covers only 247 miles, indicating the vehicle was either driven sparingly or stored for long periods between these testing dates. While the MOT history is sparse, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation beyond mileage. Long periods of standing can lead to rubber degradation in suspension bushes, perished tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs. The tester should verify that the brake calipers are not seized due to low use, as these components often fail when vehicles are driven infrequently. Given the low mileage, checking the condition of the fluids and the integrity of rubber seals is essential to ensure the car has not suffered during its periods of inactivity.
