SKODA ENYAQ2021 · ELECTRICITY

The vehicle holds a valid MOT status as of late August 2025, yet the test reveals a critical failure in tyre condition that demands immediate attention. Both front tyres exhibited wear patterns close to the legal limit with specific damage on the inner edges, indicating a persistent alignment or suspension issue rather than simple age-related degradation. This is not a minor advisory but a direct pass/fail fault that renders the car unroadworthy until corrected, suggesting previous owners may have neglected basic geometric checks or allowed suspension components like bushes and dampers to fail without replacement. Mileage accumulation presents a concerning trend for a vehicle of this vintage. Recorded at 64,849 miles during the most recent test in August 2025, the car has covered approximately 13,000 miles annually since its first registration. This rate of usage significantly exceeds the average for a modern electric SUV and implies heavy utilisation over just five years. The data shows no significant gaps in testing history, pointing to a consistent service schedule, yet the high mileage combined with rapid tyre wear suggests the drivetrain and suspension have been under constant stress without adequate intervention. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment immediately before purchase. The inner edge wear on both front tyres typically points to negative camber settings or worn control arm bushings that allow the wheels to tilt incorrectly under load. Given the electric nature of the Enyaq, the added torque and weight of the battery pack likely accelerate this wear if the suspension was not reinforced or regularly adjusted. Do not proceed with acquisition unless a specialist can confirm the subframe integrity and replace the affected suspension parts to rectify the alignment before fitting new tyres.
