2025 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · EX25 DSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 4 February 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern regarding braking component replacement. While the car passed its most recent inspection without defects, it failed just one day prior at 26,703 miles due to thin front and rear brake pads. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when prompted by a test failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage accumulation is significantly high for a one-year-old vehicle. The car covered nearly 14,000 miles between August 2025 and February 2026, representing a rate of use that exceeds 26,000 miles per annum. This high-intensity usage suggests frequent motorway driving or heavy fleet-style operation. Such rapid mileage typically accelerates the wear on suspension bushes, tyre treads, and drivetrain components compared to average private-use patterns. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the work performed after the February failure was completed correctly. Given the failure at 26,703 miles, it is essential to check the brake discs for scoring or glazing caused by running the pads down to the minimum thickness. The buyer should also inspect the front geometry and suspension components for premature wear, as the high annual mileage puts disproportionate stress on rubber bushings and control arms.
