2015 SKODA SUPERB2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-30 at 176,269 miles recorded a PASS, but the same date also shows a FAILED entry with identical mileage, creating an inconsistency that requires clarification. Previous tests from 2024-07-12 (168,597 miles), 2023-07-14 (157,951 miles), and 2022-02-01 (138,831 miles) all passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. The absence of recorded faults in these tests suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the conflicting 2025 results raise concerns about potential oversights or administrative errors in the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 176,269 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 16,024 miles annually, which is high for its age and implies frequent use. Gaps between MOT tests vary, with the longest interval between 2022-02-01 and 2023-07-14 (17 months), followed by shorter intervals in subsequent years. This pattern suggests regular but not excessively frequent servicing, though the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on components such as brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. The lack of recurring defects in prior tests does not guarantee absence of hidden issues, particularly given the high usage rate. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common in high-mileage vehicles. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance should also be checked, as prolonged use can lead to structural fatigue. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the conflicting 2025 results necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the car’s mechanical integrity and resolve discrepancies in the recorded tests.
