2020 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · CX69 ODW

The 2020 Skoda Superb presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 15 June 2026 at 114,219 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant because it follows a minor defect in the January 2023 test, where the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to legal limit and worn on edge, along with a small windscreen chip. Both issues were evidently addressed before the December 2023 test, which passed cleanly at 99,047 miles, and the car has remained defect-free across every subsequent test. The trajectory from a minor advisory to three consecutive clean passes suggests attentive ownership in recent years. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. The car covered roughly 19,036 miles per year on average, climbing from 78,024 miles in January 2023 to 114,219 miles by June 2026, a gain of approximately 36,195 miles in just over three and a half years. That is well above the typical annual figure of 10,000 to 12,000 miles for a car of this age. The gap between the December 2023 test at 99,047 miles and the July 2025 test at 113,021 miles shows around 14,000 miles covered in roughly eighteen months, confirming consistent high-intensity use rather than long periods of standing. No suspicious mileage gaps or reversals appear in the record. Despite the clean recent results, the high-mileage profile warrants a careful physical inspection. The offside front tyre wear noted in January 2023, described as worn on edge, hints at possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that may have recurred under continued heavy use. A buyer should check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and have the tracking and wheel alignment verified. Suspension components, particularly front lower arms, bushes, and anti-roll bar links, deserve close scrutiny given the mileage load they have absorbed. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, as sustained high-mileage driving accelerates consumable degradation between tests. The structural condition of the underside and wheel arches should also be examined for corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and subframes, as salt exposure over 114,000 miles can compromise structural integrity even when the MOT passes cleanly. The windscreen chip from 2023 appears to have been repaired or the screen replaced, but the surrounding area should be checked for any new stone chips or cracks that could fail a future test. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but the car's high annual mileage means consumable and mechanical wear will be more pronounced than on a typical six-year-old example, and a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended.
