Our Verdict
Approach this 2019 Skoda Kodiaq with caution and budget for immediate tyre and brake work. The recent MOT failure for dangerous tyre cuts shows the vehicle was presented in a poorly maintained state just weeks before a pass, so a thorough inspection is essential.
Request the full service history and check for evidence of scheduled maintenance at Skoda intervals; the mileage of 60,482 by mid-2026 implies roughly 8,600 miles per year, so services should be present around 10k, 20k, 30k, 40k, 50k and 60k. The Kodiaq 1.5 TSI is a common family SUV, but no aggregate reliability data is available here, so rely on this individual's MOT record. Budget for consumables and consider an independent pre-purchase inspection given the tyre neglect shown in 2026.
Maintenance on this model is not especially costly, but the 2024 MOT showed front discs pitted and pads thin and rear pads very low, and 2026 showed heavy tyre wear, so expect above-average consumable spend in the first year of ownership. The 19-inch tyres noted on the failure (235/50/19) are more expensive than smaller profiles. Factor in servicing at independent specialists to keep costs down versus main dealer rates.
Check the Nearside Front upper shock absorber for oil misting noted at the 2024 MOT (light misting, not a failure) and monitor for worsening leaks. Review underneath for any corrosion or undertray damage given the vehicle's 60k mileage and seven-year age. Verify the 1.5 TSI engine starts cleanly, has no warning lights, and that the DSG (if fitted) shifts smoothly, though the MOT data does not cover mechanical faults.
This blue 1.5-litre petrol Skoda Kodiaq (BJ19 VZP) first registered in March 2019 has covered 60,482 miles, which is moderate for its age. The MOT history shows a clear pattern of tyre wear and perishing on the rear outer edges plus front brake and pad wear noted across multiple years. A failed test on 22 May 2026 for tyre cuts to cords and edge wear was followed by a pass on 3 June 2026 after rectification, but the recurring advisories suggest deferred maintenance.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Skoda Kodiaq, so this assessment is based solely on the individual vehicle's test history.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: SKODA KODIAQ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing Leak(Moderate)
The usual MQB cooling-system weak point can cause slow coolant loss long before there is an obvious puddle.
- DSG Low-speed Judder(Moderate)
Urban use and missed servicing can leave DSG Kodiaqs shunting, hesitating or feeling inconsistent at parking speeds.
- DSG (DQ381 / DQ500) Sensor Failure(Serious)
Wet-clutch DSG units in the Kodiaq (DQ381 and the heavy-duty DQ500) can suffer from internal sensor failures (P1735/P1736 or G182/G195), leading to emergency mode.
- NOx Sensor / AdBlue Faults(Moderate)
Diesel emissions hardware can trigger warning lights and restart countdowns on otherwise healthy-feeling cars.
