2020 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · EV60 ANS

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in early 2025. While the March 2026 test resulted in a clean pass with no defects, the record indicates a period of neglected consumable maintenance. The transition from the dangerous failures in April 2025 to the clean pass in March 2026 suggests that the necessary repairs and replacements were carried out to bring the vehicle back to a compliant standard. The recorded mileage of 40,471 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,745 miles per year. This relatively low annual usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance motorway driving, which typically accelerates wear on drivetrain components. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, providing a reliable chronological dataset for evaluating the vehicle's condition. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front axle components. The April 2025 failure highlighted dangerous tyre tread depths and thin brake pads on both the nearside and offside fronts, alongside an advisory for a worn offside front brake disc. Although the 2026 test was clear, the 2023 advisory regarding pitted or scored rear brake discs suggests a recurring pattern of brake component wear. It is advisable to check the remaining thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure the recent replacements were of sufficient quality. The sudden failure in April 2025 for both tyres and brake pads indicates that the previous owner may have deferred basic maintenance until the MOT inspection necessitated it. While the most recent results are positive, a thorough check of the tyre brands and the condition of the suspension bushes would be prudent to confirm that the vehicle has transitioned into a more disciplined maintenance regime.
