2020 Skoda Superb 1.5L Petrol · GJ20 CPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of mechanical component wear. The most recent test in February 2026 at 74,715 miles identified an advisory for a light misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of seal degradation that requires monitoring. This contrasts with the perfectly clean record seen in February 2025. The mileage reflects a consistent high-use pattern, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 31,035 miles, showing steady accumulation rather than long periods of inactivity. This level of usage puts accelerated stress on the suspension and drivetrain, particularly considering the 2024 test at 55,095 miles, where all four tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit. The edge wear noted that time suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that were not immediately addressed. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system to determine if the nearside rear shock has progressed to a significant leak. Given the previous tyre wear issues, a check of the control arm bushings and ball joints is essential to ensure no excessive play has developed. The brakes should also be examined for thickness and uniformity, as the high annual mileage suggests these components may be nearing the end of their primary service life.
