2023 Skoda Kodiaq SE L Exec TDI SCR SA 2.0L Diesel · EX23 NLO

High annual mileage defines this vehicle's usage profile, though the mechanical record remains relatively clean with a pass recorded on 19 March 2026. The MOT history shows no recorded failures to date, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum regulatory standards for roadworthiness since its initial testing. The only recorded defect was a minor windscreen damage issue that did not impede the driver's view, which does not impact the structural or mechanical integrity of the car. The vehicle has covered 43,504 miles in approximately three years, averaging roughly 14,501 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, long-distance driving rather than short, urban trips or extended periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this higher mileage means that consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes will likely be further through their wear cycles compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the areas most affected by high-frequency usage. While the MOT record is clear of mechanical failures, the mileage suggests that the suspension system and braking components will have seen significant service. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering for any pulling or vibration and listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps. Regarding the specific advisory noted in the March 2026 test, the presence of an offside rear child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt. It is essential to ensure that the rear seat belt mechanisms operate smoothly and that the webbing is free from fraying or damage, as this was not fully verified during the last inspection. Additionally, given the mileage, check for any signs of oil misting around the engine bay or uneven tyre wear which could indicate more rapid component degradation.
