2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · DF67 AEG

The 2017 Skoda Superb with 74,041 miles shows a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-11-06 at 74,041 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2025-11-04 at the same mileage suggests an anomaly, though no specific issues were noted. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle has met legal standards over the past four years. The lack of recorded faults in these tests implies the owner addressed any issues promptly, but the unexplained failure warrants further inquiry. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 8,227 miles annually. The tests occur roughly yearly, with consistent mileage increments: 43,811 (2022), 52,324 (2023), 62,510 (2024), and 74,041 (2025). No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting steady, predictable usage. The absence of recurring defects in the MOT history reflects a lack of systemic mechanical or structural issues, though the 2025 failure remains unexplained. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older models. The exhaust system, including emissions compliance, merits scrutiny, especially after the unexplained failure. Visual checks for rust on the chassis or body panels are also advised, as corrosion can develop in older vehicles despite passing MOTs. The lack of recorded issues in prior tests supports the vehicle’s reliability, but the 2025 failure necessitates clarification from the seller.
