2022 Skoda Superb 1.5L Petrol · EU22 BNK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding its suspension and tyre condition. While the car passed its March 2026 test at 65,356 miles, the number of advisories has increased significantly compared to the April 2025 record. The progression from isolated front shock absorber leaks last year to misting across all four units now suggests the damping system is reaching the end of its functional life and requires attention. At 65,356 miles, this four-year-old Skoda has covered an average of over 16,000 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a vehicle of this age. Between the April 2025 and March 2026 tests, the car clocked 16,180 miles in just under eleven months. This high rate of annual mileage puts accelerated stress on wear components and suspension bushings, which explains the rapid thinning of the brake pads and the degradation of the rubber. A buyer must inspect the suspension thoroughly, as the recurring oil misting on the shock absorbers is a precursor to total failure. The uneven wear noted on the inner edges of the rear tyres in the 2026 test indicates a likely alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that has not been addressed. This must be rectified before replacing the currently damaged rear tyres to prevent further premature wear. Additionally, the active TPMS light and the damaged windscreen require immediate investigation to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with safety standards beyond the next test.
