2017 Skoda Kodiaq 1.4L Petrol · DF67 AEK

The 2017 Skoda Kodiaq shows a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 64,927 miles, some eight months before the present evaluation, returned a pass with no defects recorded. The DVSA tester flagged no advisories at that examination. Across the prior four tests from November 2021 to November 2024, the vehicle also passed cleanly at 31,154, 39,498, 47,677 and 56,021 miles respectively. This unbroken sequence of fault-free results confirms a maintenance trend that is neither worsening nor resolving because no issues arose in the first place. Mileage advanced from 31,154 at the 22 November 2021 test to 64,927 by 21 November 2025, an average annual climb of around 8,400 miles. That figure sits slightly above the lifetime average of 7,214 miles per year yet reflects uniform yearly use rather than erratic high-speed accumulation or long dormant periods. Each certificate landed in late November, proving the former keepers adhered to timely servicing intervals. The spotless history implies they attended to consumables before the test bay, avoiding the typical failures on tyre tread or lamp function seen in neglected examples. No entry cited corrosion, failing suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, or binding brake calipers, so the paper trail exposes no structural or mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical check of underside structural integrity, given nine years of road salt exposure could hide incipient rust not yet at test threshold. Inspect front lower arms for bush deformation and measure brake disc thickness despite the absence of recorded wear. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside the long-term defect trend but degrade with age.
