2020 Skoda Superb SE L TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · EU70 FPX

This 2020 Skoda Superb has a relatively clean history, but the most recent MOT results indicate a sudden spike in mechanical wear that requires attention. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in August 2025, it only did so after failing on several significant safety items. The failure in August 2025 reveals a pattern of wear on the braking and suspension systems. Specifically, both front brake discs were significantly worn, a nearside front suspension bush was excessively worn, and an offside rear shock absorber had a serious fluid leak. Although these issues appear to have been rectified for the pass, the simultaneous failure of brakes, suspension, and damping suggests that the vehicle's wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their service life. The condition trend looks to be worsening. The vehicle went from a clean MOT in 2023 to a minor tyre issue in 2024, followed by multiple serious mechanical failures in 2025. This suggests that the car is moving from a period of light use into a phase where major consumables and suspension components require more frequent replacement. The mileage of 62,854 over approximately six years averages about 10,500 miles per year, which is typical for a diesel saloon of this type. This level of usage is consistent with regular motorway or commuter driving, meaning the wear seen on the brakes and suspension is likely a result of standard age and mileage rather than extreme abuse or long periods of sitting idle.
