2019 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · BW19 OBX

The vehicle currently meets the roadworthiness standard, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of increasing mileage accumulation over the past three years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 60,356 miles was passed, yet the vehicle has since experienced a significant acceleration in mileage since 2024, reaching 52,171 miles in September 2024. This rapid gain suggests that previous owners may have relied on a lower-mileage baseline or maintained the car with less active supervision, allowing wear on critical components to accumulate faster than the legal limit. The data indicates that while the engine and front suspension components have been inspected and found in acceptable condition, the rear suspension and braking systems have suffered from repeated damage. The 2024 test flagged all four tyres as cracked or perishing, a pattern that has persisted into 2025, indicating that the rear suspension bushings and springs have likely degraded over the last two years. Concurrently, brake discs have been reported as worn, pitted, or scored in 2024, with similar issues noted in 2023 and 2022. This pattern of repeated rear suspension and brake wear points to a lack of proper periodic inspections, likely due to the vehicle's age and the owner's tendency to skip routine checks. Given the recurring faults in the rear suspension and brakes, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on these specific components. The 2024 crack in the rear tyres combined with the 2023 and 2022 wear on brake discs suggests that the suspension bushings may have become brittle or that the brake lining is beginning to fail. While the engine and front suspension have passed, the lack of a clear, clean record for the rear suspension and brakes indicates that the vehicle requires immediate professional assessment to rule out hidden structural damage or impending brake failure.
