2018 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · DP68 KVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred suspension and consumable repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 90,595 miles showed a pass with only a minor windscreen advisory, previous records indicate a recurring failure to address mechanical wear before it becomes critical. The trend appears stable in terms of passing, yet it suggests the owner has historically allowed components to reach an advisory stage rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The record shows regular intervals between annual tests, with roughly 12,400 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 11,400 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has been used regularly, which explains the gradual wear observed on rubber-based components and braking systems noted throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the rear arm bushes were flagged as worn or perished in both December 2023 at 67,737 miles and December 2024 at 79,153 miles. Although these were not mentioned in the latest test, the recurring nature of this fault indicates the bushes are nearing the end of their functional life. The tyres should also be checked closely for lateral sidewall damage, as the history shows multiple cuts and injuries across various axles between 2021 and 2023. Attention is also required for the braking system and fluid levels following the thin rear pads and low brake fluid recorded in 2021 at 35,385 miles. Given the current mileage of over 90,000 miles, the buyer should verify if the brake discs and pads have been replaced and if the fluid was properly flushed. The repeated windscreen damage across 2024 and 2025 suggests the glass may be prone to chips or was simply poorly replaced.
