2014 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · AX14 HHD

The most recent MOT test on December 16, 2025, confirms this Skoda Superb remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 91,860 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the past two tests—December 2024 and January 2023—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for December 2024 (a failed test at 85,935 miles immediately followed by a pass at 85,937 miles) warrants scrutiny of whether minor issues were overlooked or rectified between tests. The vehicle has not undergone an MOT since December 2025, meaning it is currently 7 months out of date, which is beyond the legal 12-month window. This alone is a red flag for immediate attention, as it implies either neglect or a deliberate attempt to conceal the vehicle’s status. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage—around 7,650 miles per year—without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the January 2023 (74,497 miles) and January 2024 (80,073 miles) tests spans 12 months, aligning with MOT frequency, but the rapid accumulation of 5,863 miles between January and December 2024 suggests active driving rather than storage. There are no obvious signs of deferred maintenance or excessive wear from low mileage, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden issues could exist. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of brake-related failures does not preclude wear; binding calipers or uneven disc thickness could have gone unnoticed. Structural integrity should be checked for corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are common failure points in Superbs of this vintage. Finally, the recent MOT’s failure to flag any advisories does not guarantee the vehicle is free from deferred maintenance; a thorough check of fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and drivetrain components (CV joints, differential) is essential. The duplicate test entry in 2024 also suggests a need to verify whether any minor faults were addressed between tests.
