2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · FH17 UED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 11 December 2025 at 52,359 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a slight leak at the top of the front shock absorbers. This represents an improvement from the December 2023 test where the vehicle failed due to brake disc condition and headlamp alignment, both of which were rectified to allow subsequent passes. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between the December 2022 test at 33,883 miles and the December 2024 test at 41,207 miles, with an increase of 11,152 miles recorded in the final year leading to the latest test. This low mileage generally suggests less wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber seals and surface corrosion on braking components. A buyer should physically inspect the front shock absorbers to determine if the slight leak noted in December 2025 is a minor weeping or a sign of imminent seal failure. Given the previous failure for pitted and scored rear brake discs at 37,916 miles, the current state of the rotors and pads should be checked for uneven wear or rust resulting from periods of inactivity. The inspector should also verify the suspension bushings for cracking, as low-frequency use can lead to components drying out despite the low low mileage.
