2021 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · FN21 VRM

The 2021 Skoda Kodiaq presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 9 December 2025 at 62,966 miles passing with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The vehicle has passed every recorded test without advisories or failures, suggesting the braking, suspension, exhaust, and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances across three consecutive inspections. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the trend is firmly stable rather than improving or worsening. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story. Between the December 2023 test at 45,161 miles and the November 2024 test at 53,620 miles, the vehicle covered 8,459 miles in roughly eleven months. That rate increased notably in the following year, with 9,346 miles added between November 2024 and December 2025. At approximately 12,593 miles per year over its five-year life, this is high for its age. Such sustained annual mileage places accelerated wear on consumable components, including brake discs and pads, tyres, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, even though the MOT record shows no failures to date. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on high-mileage wear items. The front and rear suspension, particularly the lower arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and coil springs, should be checked for play or deterioration, as these components degrade faster under sustained daily use. Brake calipers should be inspected for binding, and the condition of the discs and pads assessed for uneven wear or lipping. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners deserve close attention, given the mileage load. Structurally, the vehicle's underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as high-mileage vehicles are more susceptible to surface rust progressing into structural concerns. The engine and gearbox should be assessed for oil leaks and smooth operation under load. A clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not replace a hands-on mechanical inspection, particularly on a vehicle working hard at over 12,000 miles per year.
