2014 Skoda Superb 1.6L Diesel · FM14 LPY

The vehicle shows a contradictory roadworthiness picture at its most recent recorded test. On 10 September 2021 at 175,284 miles the Skoda Superb passed with no defects recorded, yet on the same date and mileage it also failed with no defects listed. This duplicate entry suggests an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a clear mechanical verdict, and the maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from a single ambiguous day of testing. The odometer stood at 175,284 miles on 10 September 2021, equating to roughly 14,600 miles per year across the car's then seven years of life. That is high annual use for a 2014 executive estate and points to sustained motorway or business mileage rather than short urban trips. No further MOT entries exist beyond September 2021, leaving a near five-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026; the absence of recent tests means the current mechanical state is unverified by DVSA data. A buyer must treat the 175,284-mile Superb as untested for roadworthiness since 2021. The clean defect list from that date gives no prior advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion to track, but high mileage and a long standing period raise the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and underbody rust. Given the stale record and duplicate pass-fail anomaly, a qualified pre-purchase inspection is essential. The tester should confirm the V5C and DVSA history, check for undocumented accident repair or weld quality on sills and subframes, and assess tyre sidewall cracking from prolonged storage before any road use.
