2016 SKODA SUPERB2.0L Diesel

The December 8 2025 MOT at 65,452 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. All preceding tests from December 2020 through December 2024 also showed passes with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no evidence of worsening or improving conditions. The mileage rose from 28,488 miles in June 2019 to 65,452 miles by December 2025, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. Intervals between tests average twelve months, with the only irregularity being the two‑day gap between the failed June 2019 test and the subsequent pass two days later, after which mileage increased steadily each year. Previous failures involved a near‑side front tyre cut reaching the ply (5.2.3(d)(i)), a near‑side front nail, and serious fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers (5.3.2(b)), all of which were rectified before the 2020 test. The absence of any defect notices since then suggests that suspension components, brake discs, and associated hardware have been serviced, but the earlier leaks indicate potential wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers that should be examined closely. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the shock absorbers and associated mounting points, verify that brake pads, discs and calipers show no binding or excessive wear, assess tyre tread depth and side‑wall integrity, and look for structural rust or damage to the chassis and exhaust system. Confirming that the remedial work on the suspension and tyre was performed correctly will determine whether the vehicle remains free of serious mechanical risk.
