2018 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · DA68 HSX

The Skoda Kodiaq presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 55,514 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each test and the car has avoided recurring wear-related failures. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,939 miles per year. The record shows 21,861 miles at the September 2021 test, rising to 26,416 by September 2022, then 32,632 in January 2024, 45,322 in December 2024, and 55,514 by December 2025. The step from 32,632 to 45,322 miles between January and December 2024 reflects around 12,690 miles in eleven months, a slightly heavier spell of use, but the overall curve remains consistent with private motoring rather than high-load commercial duty. Given the absence of flagged items across all five tests, the MOT history alone reveals no structural corrosion, suspension bush degradation, brake disc wear, or exhaust emission concerns. A clean sheet over eight years suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition, coil springs, and binding calipers, as these items can develop between annual tests without appearing in DVSA data. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm service history matches the low defect record and verify timing belt interval compliance for the engine variant. Tyre tread and wiper blade condition fall outside MOT flags here but remain consumable items worth visual confirmation at 55,514 miles.
