2018 SKODA KODIAQ2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 June 2026 at 56,179 miles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the latest test flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This advisory indicates a recent lapse in consumable maintenance or potential underlying alignment issues. The record shows a transition from a clean history in 2021 and 2022 to minor component wear in more recent years, suggesting the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear items require more frequent attention. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,000 miles per year, moving from 21,129 miles in January 2021 to 56,179 miles in June 2026. The intervals between tests are regular, with the 2025 test at 50,741 miles showing no defects, which suggests a period of well-maintained operation. There are no signs of erratic driving patterns or sudden, heavy mileage spikes that would typically indicate commercial use or heavy motorway transit. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The June 2024 test at 42,884 miles identified an offside rear brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored. Although this was not a failure, it establishes a history of brake component degradation. Given the recent advisory regarding the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and wheel alignment is advisable to ensure uneven tyre wear is not caused by mechanical play in the steering or suspension components. The history of minor issues, such as the nail in the tyre in June 2023 and the brake disc condition in 2024, suggests the previous owner addressed faults as they arose rather than allowing them to escalate into failures. Beyond checking the immediate replacement of the nearside front tyre and inspecting the rear brake pads and discs for even wear, the vehicle appears to have been subject to routine upkeep. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical defects have appeared in the recorded history.
