2024 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · FN24 TYX

The 2024 Skoda Kodiaq presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 11 February 2026 at 8,790 miles, was a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This follows a similarly unblemished test on 1 March 2025 at 4,602 miles. With both tests returning no advisories or failures, the maintenance trend is clearly stable, indicating the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order across its first two years of use. The mileage accumulation pattern is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Between the March 2025 test at 4,602 miles and the February 2026 test at 8,790 miles, the car covered approximately 4,188 miles over an eleven-month period. Annualised, that sits close to 4,395 miles per year, well below the UK average. Such light usage can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it limits wear on brake discs, pads, tyres, and drivetrain components. On the other, prolonged periods of short journeys or standing idle can cause moisture accumulation in the exhaust and oil, premature brake disc surface corrosion, and flat-spotting on tyres. The gap between the two tests is roughly eleven months, which is consistent with a single annual cycle and suggests no anomalous spikes or suspicious mileage irregularities. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection. The low annual mileage and short-journey profile warrant particular attention to the condition of the brake discs and pads, which may show surface corrosion from standing rather than the even wear patterns typical of regular use. Tyre sidewalls should be checked for perishing or cracking, as a vehicle covering fewer miles is more susceptible to age-related rubber degradation than tread wear. The exhaust system should be inspected for internal moisture corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that rarely reach full operating temperature. Beyond consumables, the underbody and suspension components deserve close scrutiny. With only two MOT entries on record, there is limited historical evidence to confirm long-term structural integrity. A buyer should examine the subframes, suspension bushes, and coil springs for any early signs of corrosion or deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has been kept in a coastal or road-salt-heavy area. The February 2026 test being entirely clean is a strong positive indicator, but it does not substitute for a physical inspection of hidden structural areas that MOT testers may not fully assess under standard conditions.
