2022 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · AB22 ADE

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident for this vehicle, characterized by a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 18 March 2026. While the 2025 MOT record noted a windscreen defect and advisories regarding front tyre wear, the absence of any recorded defects in the latest test indicates that these previous issues have been addressed. The mechanical trend appears stable, with the vehicle moving from a state of minor consumable wear in 2025 to a defect-free status in the current testing cycle. The recorded mileage of 34,242 miles over approximately four years reflects an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,560 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme high-mileage wear or, conversely, prolonged periods of inactivity that can lead to component degradation from standing. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage implies that while major drivetrain components should not yet show significant fatigue, consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will be at a stage where their condition is highly dependent on the specific road environments encountered. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition following the advisories noted in the 2025 test. Although the 2026 pass suggests these have been replaced or rectified, it is essential to inspect the current tread depth and evenness of wear across both front tyres. Uneven wear on the edges of the tyres can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises from the front end and check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level surface, which would indicate alignment or steering geometry issues. Given the previous advisory regarding tyre wear, a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry is warranted. While no specific suspension defects were recorded, the uneven wear mentioned in the 2025 report can sometimes stem from worn ball joints or tie-rod ends. On the test drive, pay close attention to the steering feel for any looseness or play, and listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, as these are typical indicators of failing suspension bushes or linkages.
