2021 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · BP70 XYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 with 85,319 miles. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement compared to the previous year. While the 2025 test identified multiple areas of concern, the lack of defects in the 2026 record indicates that the owner successfully addressed the flagged mechanical and suspension issues during that interval. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 57,510 miles and the 2025 test at 69,378 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. This consistent high-mileage suggests motorway driving which typically places specific stresses on drivetrain and suspension components, explaining the accelerated wear patterns observed in the mid-life records. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension assembly and braking system. The January 2025 test at 69,378 miles flagged pitted and scored front brake discs along with thin pads, alongside worn lower suspension arm bushes on both sides. Although these passed the 2026 test, the buyer must verify that no remaining play exists in the bushes and no audible judder persists through the rotors. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding a damaged and worn nearside rear necessitates a check of the current tyre set to ensure the rubber has not perished or suffered uneven wear since the replacement.
