2015 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · MA15 ACZ

As a 2015 diesel with a 1968cc engine, this Superb will likely fall into a higher VED band (around £190-£335 annually depending on emissions status) and an insurance group of roughly 18-25, costing £500-£800 per year. Real-world fuel economy of 50-60 mpg is possible, but at 238k miles, turbo and injector wear may reduce this and raise maintenance spend. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep is £1,600-£2,200, weighted heavily by expected repairs on a high-mileage diesel.

The 2022 MOT flagged a worn offside front suspension arm rear bush; physically check both front lower arms and rear bushes for play or cracking, as 238k miles will have stressed the chassis. The 2024 test noted a nail in the near side rear tyre, so examine all tyres for punctures, legal tread, and sidewall damage, and confirm the spare is usable. With no MOT failures but extreme mileage, inspect the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, and timing belt area for diesel rattle, and verify the DPF hasn't been deleted given urban use is unknown.
