2020 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · CX69 ODN

The 2020 Skoda Superb presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 30 January 2026 at 81,794 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. The maintenance trend over the past three years shows a clear improvement, moving from advisories and minor failures to a completely clean bill of health. This suggests the last keeper addressed the earlier issues promptly. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,632 miles per year. The record shows a significant jump of 19,501 miles between the January 2025 test at 62,293 miles and the January 2026 test at 81,794 miles. This rapid accumulation over a twelve-month period points to sustained, intensive use, likely involving long-distance motorway driving. While this can be mechanically less taxing than short urban trips, it accelerates wear on consumable components and places higher cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension during any physical inspection. The January 2023 test at 47,673 miles flagged both front shock absorbers as damp with fluid, a condition that typically degrades ride quality and braking efficiency if left unresolved. Although the subsequent clean tests suggest these units were likely replaced, verifying their current condition and checking for any uneven tyre wear patterns remains prudent. The January 2025 advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and on its edge is a minor consumable issue, but it warrants an inspection of the rear suspension geometry. Such wear patterns often indicate worn rear suspension bushes or a misaligned axle, which can silently accelerate tyre degradation and compromise handling stability.
