2017 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · HK67 ACX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT on 13 May 2026 at 88,370 miles indicates a shift toward neglected consumable maintenance. While the car has consistently passed its inspections, the emergence of tyre wear advisories suggests a recent decline in routine upkeep. The most recent advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre wearing on the inner edge indicates potential alignment issues or suspension component wear that requires immediate attention. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2017 vehicle. The car has covered approximately 88,370 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 9,800 miles annually. The record shows steady progression, with 56,880 miles in December 2021 and 65,368 miles in December 2022. A notable jump occurred between May 2025 at 78,779 miles and May 2026 at 88,370 miles, representing nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent seized components, but it does increase the wear rate on mechanical parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering geometry. The recurring tyre advisories—specifically the cracking and perishing noted in December 2020, the edge wear on both front tyres in May 2025, and the inner edge wear on the nearside rear in May 2026—point toward a pattern of uneven tyre degradation. This often stems from worn suspension bushes, worn shock absorbers, or incorrect wheel alignment. Given the recent inner edge wear, I recommend checking the rear axle components and control arms for excessive play. Beyond the tyres, the clean records from 2021 through 2024 suggest that the vehicle has avoided significant structural corrosion or major mechanical failures during that period. However, because the recent history shows a trend of tyre-related advisories, the buyer must verify that the current tyre tread depths meet legal standards and that the vehicle tracks straight under load. Checking the condition of the brake discs and pads is also advisable, as high-mileage vehicles with recent tyre issues often show similar wear patterns on braking components.
