2025 Skoda Kodiaq SE L IV Phev S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric · CV25 WOR

Absence of any recorded MOT tests means there is no documented evidence of the vehicle’s roadworthiness to date, leaving the mechanical picture entirely undefined. Without a single pass, advisory or failure on file, no trend—stable, improving or deteriorating—can be established, and the lack of a test history itself becomes the primary risk factor for a prospective buyer. Mileage information is also missing, so the vehicle’s usage intensity cannot be gauged against its 2025 model year. For a car that is roughly one and a half years old, typical annual mileage would fall in the 7‑10 000 mi range; any deviation from that norm could materially affect wear on the power‑train, suspension and PHEV battery, but without recorded kilometres there is no basis to assess such wear. Given the complete absence of MOT data, a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection is essential. Examine the brake system for pedal travel, pulsation or squeal, and verify that discs and pads show even wear without scoring. Test the steering for play or binding, listen for clunks over bumps that could indicate worn suspension bushes or loose control‑arm bolts, and inspect wheel bearings for grinding. With a plug‑in hybrid, confirm that the high‑voltage battery indicator functions, that the charging port and cable engage securely, and that the vehicle does not display any persistent hybrid‑system warning lights on the dashboard. A full diagnostic scan of the electronic control units should be performed to uncover any latent fault codes that would not appear on a visual inspection. Verify that all emissions‑related components—catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and exhaust system—are intact and free of leaks, as these are routinely checked during MOT. Finally, obtain the vehicle’s MOT status from the DVLA to ensure that a valid test has been completed before the car is driven on public roads; without that, the car cannot be legally used, regardless of its apparent condition.
