2021 Skoda Superb SE Tech IV Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · BV71 NLP

The vehicle presents a sound roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 47,823 miles, where it passed with minor advisories. The maintenance trend is currently stable, though the recent test revealed a shift from the completely clean bill of health recorded the previous year. While the car remains fully roadworthy, the emergence of tyre-related advisories suggests a need for closer monitoring of wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The mileage accumulation is entirely consistent with typical use for a 2021-registered vehicle. Between the 2024 test at 34,770 miles and the 2025 test at 47,823 miles, the vehicle covered 13,053 miles in approximately twelve months, indicating a period of sustained, regular driving following what appears to be lighter earlier use. The current annualised average of roughly 9,565 miles aligns well with national norms, and there are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged inactivity. The most recent test flagged three separate tyre defects. The tester noted the offside rear tyre had a slightly misshaped inner edge, which typically points to a tracking or alignment issue rather than simple wear. Both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, a classic symptom of incorrect toe settings or deteriorated suspension bushes allowing excessive camber wear. A buyer should place the vehicle on a four-post lift and thoroughly inspect the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends for play. The rear suspension should also be checked, particularly the trailing arm bushes and anti-roll bar links, to determine if the misshaped rear tyre stems from a similar alignment drift. Beyond the suspension, the tyre wear pattern warrants a close inspection of the brake system and wheel bearings. Uneven edge wear on the fronts can sometimes be aggravated by binding calipers or worn hub bearings introducing vibration into the steering. A test drive under light braking will reveal any pulling or judder that could confirm a sticking caliper. The tyres themselves are consumable items, but the underlying mechanical cause must be diagnosed before simply replacing them, or the new rubber will wear just as rapidly.
