2022 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · FN72 TVA

The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq presents a stable mechanical baseline, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 41,148 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears consistent, though the dataset relies on a single test. A clean bill of health at that mileage indicates the core structural and mechanical systems met the required standard at that time. Evaluating the mileage pattern reveals an anomaly that warrants attention. While the total of 41,148 miles equates to a typical annual accumulation of roughly 10,287 miles for a four-year-old vehicle, the recorded figure has remained entirely static since the August 2025 test. With today's date being 8 July 2026, the vehicle has effectively recorded zero miles over the past eleven months. This prolonged stationary period suggests the Kodiaq has been sitting unused rather than actively deteriorating through wear. A prospective buyer must inspect the components most susceptible to deterioration during long periods of inactivity. Extended standing frequently leads to corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers, even if the pads retain sufficient material. The tyres require close scrutiny for flat-spotting and sidewall perishing, as a stationary load deforms the rubber over time. Suspension bushes and exhaust components also merit a physical check, as lack of use can cause rubber to crack and moisture to accumulate within the exhaust system, accelerating internal rust. A thorough road test remains essential to verify the drivetrain and braking systems operate freely after this prolonged dormancy.
