2021 Skoda Superb SE L TDI 2.0L Diesel · DF21 LJX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a slight decline in proactive maintenance. While it passed the MOT on 29 May 2026 at 53,460 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to a loose front undertray and front tyres reaching the legal limit. This transition from a clean record in previous years to a failure involving consumables suggests the current owner may be only addressing issues once they trigger a failure rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old diesel vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test at 32,816 miles and the June 2025 test at 36,089 miles, the car covered only 3,273 miles, representing a significant spike of 17,371 miles in the final year leading to May 2026. This sudden increase in usage likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the front tyres and mechanical components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension specifically to determine the cause of the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2026 report. The 3.00mm tread depth combined with edge wear often points to misalignment issues or worn suspension bushes which require a professional geometry check. Additionally, ensure the front undertray has been properly secured and fastened, as detached shielding can cause aerodynamic lift or damage other components at higher speeds. Given the recent mileage surge, a thorough check of the brake discs and fluid levels is advisable to ensure the increased use has not stressed the braking system.
