2020 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · CX69 ODR

The vehicle has just passed its MOT on 27 May 2026, but this follows a failure only two days earlier. The recent failure was significant, involving a front oil leak, tyres with bald inner edges, thin rear brake pads, and an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush. The mileage is very high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 28,132 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has seen heavy use, which typically leads to accelerated wear on consumables like brakes and tyres, as well as more frequent degradation of suspension components. The mechanical history shows a worsening trend. While the 2025 MOT was clean, the 2026 results show multiple systems failing simultaneously. There is a recurring pattern of tyre wear and suspension-related issues, moving from light misting on shock absorbers in 2024 to a worn suspension bush and uneven tyre wear in 2026. The bald inner edges on the tyres are a specific indicator that suspension or alignment issues may be present. When inspecting this car, you should first check the suspension for any knocks or play, verify that the front oil leak has been fully repaired, and closely examine the tyres to ensure they are wearing evenly across the tread.
