2019 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · FN19 WMA

The 2019 Skoda Kodiaq presents a stable and unblemished mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 25 April 2025 at 41,323 miles. The tester recorded zero defects and zero advisories, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. Buyers must note that this certificate expired on 24 April 2026, meaning the vehicle currently holds no valid MOT. A fresh test will be required to confirm its present roadworthiness, as the clean record from over a year ago does not guarantee the current condition of consumables like tyres or brakes. At seven years old with 41,323 miles recorded, the Kodiaq has averaged just under 6,000 miles per year, reflecting unusually light use. The annual MOT intervals reveal a consistent accumulation pattern: 18,344 miles in April 2022, 25,220 miles in March 2023, 32,864 miles in April 2024, and 41,323 miles in April 2025. The yearly increments hover between 7,600 and 8,500 miles, showing no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though extended sitting can sometimes lead to deteriorated rubber seals or brake disc corrosion. Despite the flawless MOT history, the absence of recorded faults does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection, particularly given the vehicle's age and low-mileage profile. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres, checking for sidewall cracking or flat spots that develop from prolonged standing rather than tread wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for perishing, a common issue on vehicles that cover short distances. The braking system demands a thorough check for surface corrosion on the discs and binding calipers, as light use often prevents the pads from wiping the discs clean. Finally, inspect the underbody and suspension mounts for any signs of structural rust, ensuring the low mileage has not masked any long-term corrosion issues.
