SKODA SUPERB2019 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-01-09, where it passed with a minor advisory concerning light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. This suggests the suspension system is still functional, though the presence of oil leakage indicates the bushes or seals may be nearing replacement. The maintenance trend is stable in terms of passing status, but the recurring mechanical advisories point to a pattern of gradual wear rather than active deterioration. No major defects were recorded in the latest test, which is reassuring, though the suspension issue should not be ignored. Mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 9,442 miles over seven years, which aligns with typical usage for a 2019 model. The jump from 24,125 miles in July 2022 to 37,452 miles in July 2023 represents roughly 13,327 miles in one year — a normal rate. The next jump to 51,343 miles by October 2024 adds another 13,891 miles in 15 months, again within expected parameters. The final leap to 66,095 miles by January 2026 — 14,752 miles in 14 months — is slightly higher but still plausible for a vehicle used regularly. There are no gaps suggesting long-term storage or sudden neglect, and the record is clean of major failures or repeated retests. Buyers should inspect the rear suspension closely, particularly the nearside shock absorber flagged in the latest test, as oil leakage can indicate imminent failure if ignored. The rear brake disc, noted as pitted but not structurally compromised in 2023, should be checked for thickness and wear in person — it may require replacement soon. The offside front tyre, recorded as worn to the legal limit in 2024, indicates a prior lack of rotation or alignment attention; this should be verified for uneven wear patterns. No structural corrosion or emission-related failures appear in the record, which is positive, but a full underbody and exhaust inspection is still advisable given the age and mileage. The vehicle’s history reflects routine maintenance with no major mechanical failures, but the pattern of minor advisories suggests a need for proactive component replacement. The buyer should budget for suspension parts, brake discs, and tyres in the near term. The consistent passing results indicate the owner has kept the car compliant, but the wear indicators point to a vehicle that will require attention within the next 12 to 18 months to maintain roadworthiness.
