2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · BA63 SRA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on April 1, 2026 at 119,301 miles without any recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where the vehicle failed its initial tests on two occasions. The clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the mechanical issues previously identified have likely been addressed, and the car is currently meeting minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,256 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the car covered 17,646 miles in a single year. The most recent interval between March 2025 and April 2026 saw even higher 20,518 miles covered. This consistent high mileage puts considerable strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which typically degrade faster than on lower-mileage examples. While the most recent test showed no faults, the failures in both March 2024 and March 2025 suggest a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and shock absorbers for premature wear, as high annual mileage often accelerates the failure of rubber components. Given the high mileage, checking the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of caliper seals is essential to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its life. The chassis should also be examined for corrosion, as high-mileage vehicles are frequently exposed to varied road conditions that impact structural integrity.
