2018 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · FV18 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance history. The most recent MOT test on 13 November 2025 at 85,177 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an unexplained failure just one week prior on 6 November 2025 at 84,913 miles. This anomalous failure suggests an administrative error or a minor component that was rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of developing mechanical faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 10,000 miles covered between March 2023 and November 2024, followed by nearly 20,000 miles covered between April 2024 and November 2025. This slight increase in usage over the final year indicates the car is currently being used for longer-distance travel, which is generally beneficial for engine health and braking components as it prevents the internal moisture-related degradation associated with long periods of standing. Since the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear items typical for this mileage. Given the 85,000-mile mark, verify the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or cracking, as these often degrade at this interval. Check the brake discs for uneven wear, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than component thickness. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to repairs, but a physical check of the timing belt and fluid condition remains necessary.
