2012 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · DA12 SXC

The Skoda Superb presents as roadworthy following the August 2025 test cycle, with a clean pass recorded at 166,400 miles on 2025-08-17. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no advisories, defects, or escalating mechanical concerns. The owner cleared the vehicle through testing roughly eleven months ago, and the record carries no outstanding structural or consumable warnings. Annual mileage sits at approximately 11,886 per year against the car's 2012 build, a typical use profile for a 14-year-old executive estate. The gap between the July 2024 pass at 154,994 miles and the August 2025 pass at 166,400 miles shows about 11,400 miles added in thirteen months, consistent with prior years. Records are sparse but clean: the only anomalies are two consecutive fail-pass pairs in August 2023 (144,908 then 144,918 miles) and August 2025 (166,391 then 166,400 miles), both with no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the 166,400-mile accumulation. The MOT data flags no corrosion or exhaust emission faults, yet high-mileage Skoda Superbs commonly develop worn front lower arms and tired dampers unseen in a basic test. Verify the service history covers timing belt and water pump intervals, as the records supplied confirm only test outcomes, not internal drivetrain care. The repeated same-week fail-then-pass pattern without recorded defects suggests the vendor used a different centre or corrected a non-mechanical entry before final certification. Treat the clean sheet as accurate for test-day condition, but confirm in person that no latent binding calipers or underbody rust exist before purchase.
