2017 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · HK67 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 147,532 miles showing no defects. This follows a clean pass in December 2024 at 128,355 miles, suggesting that previous maintenance issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of mechanical compliance. The absence of advisories in the last two years indicates a period of consistent upkeep regarding primary safety components. The mileage accumulation is high, averaging approximately 16,400 miles per year since the first recorded test in November 2020. The data shows a steady, heavy usage pattern rather than erratic bursts. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the mileage jumped from 76,757 to 103,631, representing a significant annual distance of nearly 27,000 miles. This rapid accumulation increases the likely wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and shock absorbers, which should be factored into any long-term ownership cost projections. Brake wear appears to be the most frequent recurring issue in the history. In December 2021 at 52,510 miles, the tester flagged thinning pads on all four corners alongside worn front tyres. A similar issue with rear brake pads resurfaced in the December 2023 test at 103,631 miles. While these are consumable items, the frequency suggests the vehicle is driven in conditions or styles that accelerate pad depletion. A buyer should physically inspect the remaining brake pad thickness and check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. Given the high mileage, a thorough inspection of the suspension system is necessary. While no specific faults were flagged for steering or suspension components, the heavy annual mileage increases the risk of worn ball joints, control arm bushes, or leaking dampers. The record also notes an under tray was fitted in November 2020, which helps protect lower engine components, but the buyer should still check for any signs of fluid leaks or underside corrosion that often accompany high-mileage diesel or petrol engines of this age.
