2017 SKODA SUPERB S TDI S-A1.6L HEAVY OIL

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 220,065 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health is consistent with the previous five tests dating back to 2018, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met minimum legal standards without recurring failures or persistent advisories. The mileage is exceptionally high for a nine year old car, averaging over 24,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between July 2023 and September 2025, where the odometer climbed from 162,119 to 220,065 miles. This suggests heavy motorway use or professional fleet duty. While the lack of MOT failures during this period of rapid accumulation is positive, such high mileage inevitably accelerates the wear of non-MOT critical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical items that the MOT may not flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under the stress of 220,000 miles. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for any signs of sticking or uneven wear. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for underbody corrosion is necessary, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Verify the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for the TDI engine that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT test.
