2012 Skoda Superb SE TDI CR 2.0L Diesel · AC03 BTO

The 2012 Skoda Superb SE TDI CR presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 23 August 2025 at 182,618 miles. The DVSA record shows no defects or advisories across the last four consecutive annual tests. This consistent pass history from 2022 through 2025 indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged by testers. Mileage stands at 182,618 miles against a 14-year service life, equating to roughly 13,044 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 159,611 miles at the 27 August 2022 test to 166,373 miles in August 2023, then 173,067 miles in August 2024, and 182,618 miles in August 2025. Annual accumulation held near 7,000 to 9,500 miles in the recorded period, below the lifetime average and pointing to reduced recent use rather than high-stress motorway commuting. No test gaps exist; the owner adhered to yearly testing within the valid window each time. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high total mileage and age. The MOT record never cited corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers, yet the absence of advisories on a 13-year-old diesel at 182k miles often means testers logged only hard failures. Examine the subframe and sills for structural rust that a visual MOT may miss, and verify the timing belt and DSG clutch history through service invoices rather than the test data. The clean sheet offers reassurance on legal compliance, but the high odometer demands proof of consumable replacement. Previous keepers sustained the car through four untarnished tests, suggesting basic upkeep was not neglected at the annual checkpoint. Confirm real-world condition beneath the surface before purchase.
