2020 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · CK20 OCM

The 2020 Skoda Kodiaq demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 40,366 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The lack of any advisories or failures in the latest test implies the previous owner addressed any latent mechanical issues promptly. Covering 40,366 miles over roughly six years equates to an average of approximately 6,728 miles annually, a figure that sits comfortably within typical usage parameters. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation: 22,524 miles in June 2023, 29,973 miles in June 2024, and 40,366 miles in May 2025. The 10,393-mile jump between mid-2024 and mid-2025 points to a period of heavier use. However, the recorded mileage has remained static at 40,366 miles since the May 2025 test, meaning the vehicle has likely been standing idle for over a year. Despite the clean MOT record, the anomaly of a failed test on 19 June 2024 at 29,973 miles—recorded with no defects—warrants scrutiny. This typically indicates an aborted test or a failure to present the vehicle for the full inspection. More critically, the vehicle's prolonged stationary period since May 2025 demands a thorough physical inspection. A buyer should inspect the tyres for flat spots and sidewall cracking, check the brake discs for surface corrosion, and verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can deteriorate when a vehicle sits unused. Inspect the exhaust system for condensation-related corrosion and test the battery health, as extended inactivity often leads to cell degradation.
