2020 Skoda Superb 1.5L Petrol · EU70 FPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in the condition of the braking system. While the car passed its most recent test on September 12, 2025 at 30,275 miles, it identified multiple defects regarding the rear braking assembly. Specifically, both rear brake discs were noted as being pitted and scored, while the brake pads were flagged as wearing thin on both sides. The mileage profile is significantly low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,046 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 16,371 miles and the September 2024 test at 23,655 miles, the car covered 7,284 miles, indicating consistent but modest use. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on iron components like brake discs, which may explain the pitting and scoring observed in the records despite the low overall distance. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear braking system to determine the extent of the corrosion on the discs. Since the pads are thin and the discs are scored, a full rear brake overhaul replacement is likely required to ensure safe stopping distances. The buyer should also check the suspension bushes and tyres for signs of age cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber components that degrade over time irrespective of the distance driven.
