2022 Skoda Superb 1.5L Petrol · DG71 EKP

The 2022 Skoda Superb presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass recorded on 31 December 2025 at 82,019 miles with zero defects. This clean bill of health follows a test just under twelve months earlier on 3 January 2025 at 70,199 miles, where the tester flagged worn nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes. The fact that these advisories do not reappear in the most recent examination suggests the suspension wear was addressed, indicating a responsible ownership pattern of rectifying flagged issues rather than ignoring them. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained, high-intensity use. Covering roughly 11,820 miles in the eleven-month gap between the January and December 2025 tests, the vehicle has averaged approximately 20,505 miles per year across its four-year life. This is well above the typical annual mileage for a car of this age. Such a pattern accelerates wear on consumable components, including brake discs and pads, tyres, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts. The MOT record itself is sparse but consistent, showing only two tests across the vehicle's life, both of which it passed, with no evidence of dangerous or major structural defects. Prospective buyers should conduct a focused physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically the lower arm bushes and ball joints, despite their resolution on paper. High-mileage Supersb are prone to premature wear in these areas, and replacements may already be due again. The nearside and offside front tyres and brake components deserve close scrutiny given the heavy motorway-style mileage, as uneven wear or lipping on discs is common at this stage. A thorough underbody check for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, is advisable, as high annual mileage in varied conditions can accelerate surface and structural rust. The clean December 2025 result is encouraging, but the vehicle's usage intensity demands a diligent hands-on evaluation.
