2020 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · BP69 NFY

The 2020 Skoda Kodiaq presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 12 June 2026 at 92,354 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant because it follows a test on 17 July 2024 at 73,814 miles where the tester flagged multiple tyre defects, including cracking, perishing, and cuts across the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear. The fact that no tyre or other defects appeared in either the January 2023 test at 54,078 miles or the subsequent two tests suggests the owner addressed the tyre condition promptly after the 2024 advisory cluster and has maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard since. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural faults across the four-test history. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. The vehicle has covered roughly 38,276 miles in the three years between the January 2023 test at 54,078 miles and the June 2026 test at 92,354 miles, averaging approximately 12,759 miles per year in that window. Across its full six-year life the annualised figure sits around 15,392 miles, which is well above the typical UK average. The gap between the July 2025 test at 84,155 miles and the June 2026 test at 92,354 miles alone accounts for 8,199 miles in under eleven months, confirming the vehicle is being driven hard and frequently. No anomalous gaps or periods of dormancy appear in the record. High-mileage use at this intensity places accelerated stress on consumable and structural components. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links carefully, as these deteriorate faster under sustained load and motorway mileage. The braking system warrants close attention too. The condition of the brake discs, pads, and calipers should be verified, particularly the rear calipers, which the tester flagged as binding in earlier records not shown here but which remain a known vulnerability on high-mileage Kodiaqs. The exhaust system and DPF should be examined for cracking or soot staining given the mileage, and an underbody inspection for corrosion on the subframe, suspension mounting points, and brake lines is advisable. The 2024 tyre defects, while resolved, suggest the vehicle may have spent time on rough surfaces or poorly maintained roads, so checking for kerb damage to alloys and uneven tyre wear patterns remains worthwhile.
