2016 Skoda Superb 2.0L Petrol · FN16 PKA

The Skoda Superb presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 February 2026 at 30,849 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 test came three days after a failure on 17 February 2026 at 30,831 miles, yet the failure listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Every prior annual test from February 2023 through February 2025 passed with no advisories or defects recorded. The odometer shows 30,849 miles against a February 2016 build, equating to roughly 3,085 miles per year. The car gained only 1,607 miles between the February 2025 test at 29,242 miles and the February 2026 pass, and 3,776 miles across the full 2023 to 2026 span. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, though the clean record gives no evidence of neglect in the supplied data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber components and binding brakes not caught in a pass with no advisories. Check underneath for structural corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify the exhaust emissions system is sound given the age. The absence of any recorded advisories across five years means no recurring wear trend exists in the official data. Treat the 17 February 2026 failure as a paperwork anomaly, not a reliability concern, but confirm in person that the vehicle has not sat unused long enough to flat-spot tyres or degrade fluids.
