2022 Skoda Enyaq IV 60 Electric · DA71 VOF

A clean two-test DVSA record with no advisories or failures provides strong evidence of structural and mechanical integrity on this 2022 Skoda Enyaq iV 60. The most recent assessment on 13 January 2026 recorded a pass with no defects, continuing the trend established by the earlier pass on 10 January 2025. For an EV of this age, the absence of any flagged items relating to suspension components, brake system corrosion, or underbody condition is a positive indicator, particularly given the higher-than-average mileage the vehicle has accrued. There is no recorded pattern of advisory recurrence, no history of corrosion advisories on subframes or structural sections, and no brake-related defects appearing in either test. The recorded mileage of 98,795 against a four-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 24,700 miles per year, placing this example firmly in the high-mileage bracket for its age. This level of annual accumulation is consistent with sustained motorway or commuter use, which accelerates wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, anti-roll bar links, and tyre tread depth more rapidly than lower-mileage equivalents. While the MOT record shows no advisories, the higher-than-average mileage means consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and pads are likely approaching or at the point of replacement, even though regen-braking characteristics of the EV drivetrain will have extended brake component life relative to a comparable ICE vehicle. The absence of any mileage gaps between tests indicates the vehicle has been in continuous service rather than laid up, which is generally favourable for mechanical seals, battery conditioning, and preventing moisture-related corrosion in the underbody and drivetrain area. For a prospective buyer, the priority inspection points should focus on the suspension geometry and bushing condition, as 98,795 miles of accumulated travel will have loaded the front MacPherson strut assemblies and rear multi-link components significantly. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, particularly indicative of worn top mounts or wishbone bushes, and feel for any vagueness or knocking through the steering rack under load. Inspect the tyres closely for uneven shoulder wear, which can point to misalignment or worn suspension linkages not yet flagged on an MOT but consistent with high-mileage use, and check that all four tyres are matching in brand, size, and tread depth. Given the high annual mileage, particular attention should also be given to the high-voltage battery state of health, the 12V auxiliary battery condition, and the integrity of the underbody protection panels. Although the MOT record does not record these items, an EV of this mileage warrants a diagnostic battery health report from a Skoda dealer or specialist to confirm cell balance and remaining capacity. On a test drive, monitor for any unusual whine from the rear-mounted electric motor under acceleration, check that regenerative braking transitions are smooth without surging or warning lights, and ensure all driver-assistance systems including lane keeping and adaptive cruise control calibrate correctly. Finally, examine the underside of the vehicle on a ramp for any signs of fluid leakage from the cooling system, which services the high-voltage battery and inverter, as leaks in this area would not necessarily appear as MOT advisories but are a known concern on Enyaq models operating at sustained high-mileage duty cycles.
