2022 Skoda Kodiaq SE TSI 1.5L Petrol · RXZ 5008

The 1.49-litre (1498cc) TSI petrol engine offers a balanced compromise between everyday usability and fuel economy for a large SUV, though real-world MPG will vary depending on urban versus motorway driving. Road tax falls into standard petrol vehicle bands, and the Euro 6 AP emissions rating ensures exemption from charges in standard Clean Air Zones and Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).

Insurance costs should be manageable, typically sitting in line with the SE trim level grouping for mid-sized family SUVs. Routine maintenance will require standard servicing intervals at a Skoda main dealer or specialist, keeping unexpected costs low given the vehicle's young age and minimal mileage. Estimated annual running costs are projected between £1,100 and £1,400, factoring in fuel, standard road tax, insurance, and routine servicing.

While the June 2026 MOT test recorded zero defects or advisories at 16,220 miles, a physical inspection should still thoroughly check the brake discs and pads, suspension components, and tyre tread depths. Look underneath the vehicle for any signs of kerb damage, suspension wear, or undertray scrapes that might have occurred during normal family use.

Check the tyre condition and manufacture dates to ensure they match the low mileage and have not suffered from perishing or cracking due to prolonged periods of sitting stationary. Inspect the body panels for parking dings or stone chips, particularly around the silver paintwork where minor blemishes can be prominent.
