2021 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TDI SCR S-A 2.0L Diesel · GF21 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its history of clean passes. The most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 70,509 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately before the retest. Given the lack of advisories across the 2024 and 2025 tests, the vehicle appears to have maintained a high standard of mechanical upkeep without recurring degradation. The mileage pattern indicates consistent high usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum which sits above the national average for a five-year-old diesel. Between the April 2024 test at 40,814 miles and the 2025 test at 56,756 miles, the vehicle covered 15,942 miles in just eleven months. Another 13,753 miles were logged prior to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car is likely used for motorway commuting, which typically results in less wear on clutches and brakes compared to frequent city driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. While the MOT record is clean, the 70,000-mile threshold warrants a close look at the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of premature tearing. The brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the high mileage puts significant demand on the braking system. Since the 2026 test involved a failure and pass, it is worth verifying the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical fault in the SCR system or drivetrain.
