2020 Skoda Scala 1.6L Diesel · SK20 UXN

This 2020 Skoda Scala passed its most recent MOT in October 2025, but the history reveals a clear pattern of rapid wear on tyres and brakes. The latest test recorded advisories for both nearside and offside front brake pads wearing thin, indicating that these consumables are likely nearing the end of their life and will require immediate attention. The tester also noted windscreen damage, though this was not deemed severe enough to affect the driver's view. There is a recurring theme of tyre-related defects throughout the vehicle's history. In July 2023, the car actually failed its MOT due to structural failures on both rear tyres, specifically lumps caused by separation or partial failure. By the following year in July 2024, the front tyres had worn down close to the legal limit. This progression suggests the vehicle may have been subjected to harsh driving conditions, poor alignment, or simply heavy usage without timely maintenance. The mileage data provides important context for this wear. While the overall average of roughly 10,774 miles per year is typical for a car of this age, the usage has been inconsistent. The vehicle covered over 23,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests alone, a significant spike that explains the accelerated degradation of the front brakes noted in the most recent check.
