2017 SKODA SUPERB2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred attention regarding minor consumable components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 49,888 miles shows a pass despite persistent issues with all four brake discs and damage to the front tyres. While the car continues to pass, the recurring nature of these advisories across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses faults when legally necessary rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2021 at 19,821 miles and October 2022 at 28,943 miles, followed by a steady increase of roughly 10,000 miles annually between 2022 and 2025. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the reports of perishing and cracking tyres in the MOT records. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs have been noted in every test since 2023. These surface irregularities often indicate the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, allowing corrosion to form on metal surfaces. Additionally, the repeated reports of tyre cuts and cracking across all sidewalls suggest the rubber compound is reaching the end of its functional life regardless of the remaining tread depth. The tyres should be checked for deep structural cracking that could lead to sudden failure.
