2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · DA67 WHZ

The Skoda Superb presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 161,028 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes in April 2022, May 2023, and April 2024 also logged no advisories or faults. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 April 2023 at 134,254 miles where the tester recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Across the visible history the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural issues. The recorded mileages show consistently high use for a 2017 car. In April 2022 the odometer read 97,561 miles, then climbed to 134,288 by May 2023, 140,436 by April 2024, and 161,028 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 17,900 miles per year, well above typical private use. The jump between April 2022 and May 2023 alone accounts for over 36,000 miles, indicating motorway or business mileage. The sparse five-entry record gives little granular insight, but the clean results imply the previous keepers addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection given the mileage. At 161,028 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper mounts will have absorbed substantial load; the MOT record does not flag wear, but testers only record visible defects. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for thickness and binding, as high annual mileage accelerates pad and rotor depletion even when emissions and structure pass. The April 2023 fail with no defects logged warrants a check of the DVSA reason code, since it may reflect a documentation error rather than a roadworthiness fault. Otherwise the Superb's history supports a sound used purchase, provided a pre-sale check confirms underside corrosion, exhaust integrity, and tyre condition against the high-mileage context.
