2016 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · FD16 EJA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with the latest MOT on 27 September 2025 at 64,963 miles passing overall. The tester flagged both near‑side and off‑side rear brake discs as worn, pitted and scored, though not seriously weakened, indicating a recurring wear pattern but no immediate safety breach. Over the past three years the brake‑disc condition has persisted, suggesting a stable but not improving trend that will likely require replacement in the near future. At ten years old the car has accumulated 64,963 miles, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year – a typical usage level for a family saloon. A notable surge occurred between the 31 January 2019 test at 31,212 miles and the 5 February 2020 test at 47,706 miles, where mileage jumped by over 16,000 miles in twelve months, implying a period of intensive driving. Apart from that interval the mileage progression is gradual, and the record shows no large gaps that would suggest prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear braking system, confirming disc thickness and checking for any cracking or excessive corrosion that could compromise performance. The tyre history shows a near‑side rear tyre with exposed ply in October 2021 and an off‑side rear tyre with sidewall damage the same year, while a front‑tyre bulge caused a failure in November 2020. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall integrity and uniform wear, and be prepared for replacement if any signs of perishing remain. Although no suspension or structural advisories appear in the MOT data, a visual and tactile examination of suspension bushes, coil springs and chassis for rust or looseness is prudent to ensure no hidden deterioration has developed.
