2017 Skoda Superb 1.6L Diesel · GJ17 AEK

The 2017 Skoda Superb passed its most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 195,005 miles with a slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. This minor issue, however, does not indicate a worsening maintenance trend, as the vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests with minor advisories in recent years. The overall roadworthiness of the vehicle is currently satisfactory. The recorded mileage of 195,005 miles, approximately 21,667 miles per year, is high for its age. This suggests that the vehicle has been driven extensively over the past nine years, potentially leading to increased wear on consumables, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. Notable gaps in the MOT history are sparse, but it is worth noting that the vehicle accumulated a significant amount of mileage between the 2020 and 2021 tests, with 31,984 miles added in just over a year. This rapid mileage accumulation may indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent maintenance. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering system in person, paying particular attention to the offside front suspension arm ball joint, which has shown slight play in the most recent test. Additionally, the vehicle's brakes should be examined, as binding rear brakes were flagged in a previous test. The headlamp aim should also be checked, as the nearside headlamp was found to have an obviously incorrect projected beam image in 2024. Furthermore, the engine's MIL (malfunction indicator light) should be inspected, as it was inoperative or indicated a malfunction in 2022.
