2010 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · FP60 ENT

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards worsening structural and suspension degradation. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 209,975 miles, the record reveals a persistent failure to address underlying corrosion and component wear. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures and defects in 2024 and 2025 indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where reactive repairs replacing preventative maintenance. At 209,975 miles over 16 years, this Superb has clocked an average of approximately 13,100 miles per year. This consistent usage places significant strain on the chassis and drivetrain components. The interval between the October 2023 test and October 2024 test saw the vehicle cover over 9,000 miles in a single year. This high mileage correlates with the rapid appearance of worn lower suspension arm ball joints and bushes that led to a failure in the October 2024 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame, as the 2025 test flagged corrosion that, while not yet a failure, represents a significant structural risk as it progresses. The rear suspension requires close attention; the nearside rear shock absorber has been leaking and physically damaged for two consecutive years, and both rear coil springs are now showing surface corrosion. Furthermore, the rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in the latest test, suggesting they are nearing the end of their functional life and may require replacement shortly.
