2018 Skoda Kodiaq 1.4L Petrol · FM67 CLX

The 2018 Skoda Kodiaq presents a highly stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 12 January 2026 at 87,716 miles. Every single test since January 2022 has passed without a single defect or advisory recorded. This unblemished record strongly indicates a vehicle that has been meticulously maintained, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues developing over its lifespan. The absence of even minor faults suggests diligent preventative care rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,964 miles annually. Looking at the specific intervals, the car covered 11,518 miles between the January 2022 test at 52,541 miles and the January 2023 test at 64,059 miles. The subsequent annual increments show a slight tapering, moving 7,786 miles from 2023 to 2024, 7,463 miles from 2024 to 2025, and 8,408 miles from 2025 to 2026. This consistent and unremarkable progression rules out periods of extreme high-mileage abuse or prolonged standing that often triggers suspension seizure or brake corrosion. Despite the flawless paperwork, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as even a car passing an MOT can exhibit lipping or uneven wear that the tester deemed within tolerance. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for the early signs of perishing or cracking, common issues on heavier SUVs over an eight-year period. The underbody and structural seams need a thorough check for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, to ensure the chassis retains its structural integrity. Tyre condition and manufacturing dates should also be verified, as uneven wear could hint at subtle tracking issues not severe enough to trigger a test failure.
