2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · BK67 AEB

This Škoda Superb has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent inspection on 31 May 2024 at 99,682 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern. However, the 14-month gap between the 2024 and 2023 tests—far exceeding the standard 12-month MOT cycle—raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven extensively during that period or simply stood idle. Given the lack of failings, there is no evidence of worsening conditions, but the extended period between tests means critical components like brakes, suspension, and exhaust systems could have deteriorated beyond routine wear if not properly maintained. The recorded mileage of 99,682 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average of around 11,076 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in mileage that would indicate aggressive driving or prolonged neglect, though the 12,633-mile jump between the 2021 and 2023 tests (from 58,629 to 82,058 miles) suggests either a period of higher usage or a temporary storage period before resumption. The most significant observation is the consistent mileage progression without abrupt deviations, though the lack of service records means potential wear on high-usage components like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue over 99,000 miles. The brakes, while not failed in MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the disc surfaces, especially if the vehicle was driven heavily during the 2023–2024 gap. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this model is susceptible to rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the exhaust system—often a silent failure point—should be examined for leaks, cracks, or excessive play in mounting brackets, as these issues can escalate quickly if ignored.
