2020 Skoda Superb SE L TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · DA70 UAP

The Skoda Superb presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 December 2025 at 119,337 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the test history reveals a recurring pattern of same-week fail-and-pass cycles that warrants scrutiny. The vehicle cleared the December 2025 test one day after a 23 December 2025 failure at 119,328 miles where the tester logged no defects, mirroring an identical scenario in November 2024 when it failed on the 8th at 107,103 miles and passed on the 11th at 107,113 miles with no faults cited. Mileage stands at 119,337 against a 2020 build, equating to roughly 19,890 miles per year and marking this estate as a high-use example for its age. The odometer advanced from 91,776 miles at the October 2023 pass to 107,103 by November 2024, then to 119,328 by December 2025, showing consistent annual accumulation of around 11,000 to 12,000 miles in the later recorded period after heavier earlier use. The DVSA record is sparse, with only three passes and two defect-free failures across the timeline, so no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion have ever been published for this vehicle. A buyer should not treat the clean advisories as proof of sound condition. The twin fail-pass pairs with zero recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine rectification, and previous owners may have used convenient retests to push the car through without documented repair. Given the mileage, inspect front suspension arms, coil springs, and drivehaft gaiters for fatigue not captured by the MOT. Check brake caliper operation and disc wear, as high annual mileage on a diesel auto wears consumables fast. Verify underneath for structural rust at sills and subframes. The lack of advisories offers no assurance on these items, and an independent inspection remains essential before purchase.
