2024 Skoda Kodiaq SE L Executive TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · EU24 FSC

The DVSA database shows no recorded MOT test for this 2024 Skoda Kodiaq SE L Executive TSI S‑A, meaning there is no official evidence of any recent inspection, pass or fail, and consequently no trend in maintenance performance can be established from the MOT record. The absence of data suggests that either the vehicle has not yet been presented for its first statutory test, or the test results have not been logged, and a prospective buyer should treat the lack of a documented history as a risk factor that must be mitigated by a thorough independent examination. Mileage for the vehicle is not supplied, so an objective comparison of kilometres travelled against its two‑year age cannot be made. Assuming a typical annual usage of 8‑12,000 mi for a family SUV, a 2024 model would be expected to have accumulated roughly 16‑24,000 mi by September 2026. If the odometer reads significantly lower, the car may have been lightly used or stored, which raises concerns about tyre rubber ageing, battery electrolyte depletion, and possible corrosion of brake components from prolonged inactivity. Conversely, a reading well above the typical range would indicate high mileage for its age, implying accelerated wear on the engine, transmission, suspension bushes and clutch, and would merit close scrutiny of service records for evidence of timely oil changes and component replacements. In the absence of any recorded defects, the buyer should concentrate on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, hardening or delamination, as rubber can perish after six years regardless of tread depth, and verify that the tyre age code does not exceed 72 months. Check the 12‑volt battery for swelling, corrosion on the terminals and voltage under load; a battery older than three years may be nearing the end of its service life and could fail under cold‑weather demand. Inspect all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – for correct levels, colour and the presence of particulates; fluids typically require replacement at 12‑month intervals even on low‑mileage cars to prevent oxidation and seal degradation. Look for any signs of oil or coolant leaks around the valve cover gaskets, oil pan and radiator hoses, as time‑based seal shrinkage can cause seepage even without high mileage. Finally, request a full service history and verify that the manufacturer’s scheduled maintenance milestones – such as the 12 000 mi/12‑month oil change, the 24 000 mi brake fluid flush and the 30 000 mi suspension inspection – have been recorded. During a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking from the front suspension, note any uneven tyre wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn bushings, and pay attention to brake pedal feel for any sponginess or pulsation that would suggest warped discs or contaminated pads. Confirm that all electronic aids – adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist and infotainment functions – operate without warning messages, as latent software faults can surface later. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, coupled with a review of any available service documentation, will be essential to establish the true roadworthiness of this relatively new Kodiaq.
