2021 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · DG71 EKA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 4 November 2025 at 41,287 miles, yet the maintenance trend indicates deteriorating mechanical condition. While the tester issued no immediate failures, the accumulation of advisories across multiple systems suggests previous owners deferred essential maintenance. The November 2024 inspection flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and a single worn rear brake disc, but by the following year, the scope of wear had expanded significantly to include all four brake discs and tyre damage. This progression points to a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. Usage aligns with typical expectations for a five-year-old vehicle, recording 41,287 miles by late 2025. The odometer advanced by 5,669 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, indicating roughly average annual mileage. With the current date in June 2026, the MOT certificate remains valid for several months, but the vehicle has likely covered additional distance since the last inspection. The consistent mileage increments suggest the car has not been sitting idle for long periods, which is beneficial for mechanical lubrication but accelerates consumable wear. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres. The November 2025 test recorded worn, pitted, or scored discs on all four corners, implying the braking surface is compromised and likely requires immediate replacement to ensure performance. Furthermore, the nearside rear tyre showed signs of perishing or cracking, and the offside front tyre sustained a cut, indicating rubber degradation that necessitates attention. Although the nearside front suspension arm bush wear noted in 2024 did not reappear in the latest report, the suspension geometry should still be checked given the existing brake wear.
