Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer seeking a relatively modern SUV with a consistent MOT record. The recent history shows a clean pass at 54,485 miles, suggesting the vehicle is currently meeting basic safety standards.
When viewing this 1.5L petrol Kodiaq, ensure you verify the service history to complement the MOT records, as the MOT only confirms basic safety compliance. Given the mileage has increased from 23,574 in 2023 to 54,485 in 2025, check that the mid-term service intervals have been adhered to.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT failure in December 2025; although no defects were listed, it is worth asking the seller what required attention to rectify the failure. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for families. Fuel economy for this model typically offers a balance between SUV utility and petrol efficiency, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Typical maintenance for a Skoda of this age includes routine oil changes and filter replacements. You should budget for standard consumable items like brake discs and pads, which may be due given the current mileage level.
Focus your inspection on the items that typically appear on MOT advisories for SUVs, such as tyre tread depth and brake wear. Although the 2025 MOT history shows no defects at the time of passing, the previous failure suggests something required attention; confirm this has been resolved.
Inspect the blue paintwork for any signs of stone chips or scratches common on larger vehicles, and check the interior for wear consistent with 54,000 miles of use. Ensure all electronic systems, particularly those related to the 1.5L petrol engine's management, are functioning correctly.
This 2020 Skoda Kodiaq, finished in blue, has covered 54,485 miles since its first registration in February 2020. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent being a pass in December 2025. While there was a recorded failure in December 2025, the records indicate no specific defects were noted at that time, and the vehicle subsequently passed.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Skoda Kodiaq to provide a comparative benchmark.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: SKODA KODIAQ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing Leak(Moderate)
The usual MQB cooling-system weak point can cause slow coolant loss long before there is an obvious puddle.
- DSG Low-speed Judder(Moderate)
Urban use and missed servicing can leave DSG Kodiaqs shunting, hesitating or feeling inconsistent at parking speeds.
- DSG (DQ381 / DQ500) Sensor Failure(Serious)
Wet-clutch DSG units in the Kodiaq (DQ381 and the heavy-duty DQ500) can suffer from internal sensor failures (P1735/P1736 or G182/G195), leading to emergency mode.
- NOx Sensor / AdBlue Faults(Moderate)
Diesel emissions hardware can trigger warning lights and restart countdowns on otherwise healthy-feeling cars.
