2020 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · EY70 XBF

This Skoda Kodiaq has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with all three most recent tests—conducted in October 2023, October 2024, and October 2025—resulting in clean passes at 39,389, 48,058, and 58,157 miles respectively. The absence of defects or advisories across these intervals suggests no recurring mechanical failures, though the lack of recorded issues also means no visible pattern of wear or neglect can be confirmed. The most recent test, just nine months ago, aligns with the vehicle’s current mileage, indicating it has not yet reached the next MOT threshold. This stability is reassuring, but it does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—which may only manifest under closer inspection. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 9,700 miles per year over the past three years is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage class. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity to suggest irregular driving habits or extended storage, which could accelerate wear or corrosion. The consistent annual mileage increments—from 39,389 to 48,058 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and from 48,058 to 58,157 miles between October 2024 and October 2025—further imply steady, moderate use without extreme conditions. However, the sparse MOT data means no insights can be drawn about earlier maintenance or potential deferred repairs. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough examination of suspension components, particularly the rear axle alignment and condition of bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points at this mileage. The brakes, including rear binding calipers and front disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen mixed road conditions. Structural integrity, particularly in the wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for signs of rust or bodywork repairs, as these are often overlooked until they compromise safety. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should also be verified, as their absence in MOT records does not guarantee they have been maintained. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns, while not flagged in the MOT, remain critical for cornering stability and should be inspected for irregularities.
