2020 SKODA KODIAQ2.0L Diesel

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of component wear. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 76,783 miles resulted an advisory for light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of seal degradation in the suspension system, contrasting with the clean records from the previous two years. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year over the six-year period. Between the November 2023 test at 51,924 miles and the October 2024 test at 70,926 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests the car was used for long-distance motorway driving, which typically results in more predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to shorter city trips. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak requiring immediate replacement. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lower control arms is necessary as these components often reach fatigue limits at this interval. The brake system should also be evaluated for uneven wear or sticking calipers, as the high mileage puts significant thermal on these consumables.
