2020 Skoda Superb 1.5L Petrol · GM69 LZP

The Skoda Superb holds a current MOT pass certificate dated 10 February 2026, completed at 45,283 miles. The maintenance trajectory over the past three years is essentially stable, though the record shows a minor blip immediately before the pass. On 9 February 2026, the car failed on a nearside front tyre cut exposing ply or cords and scored front brake discs. The following day, at the identical mileage, the retest passed with only an advisory for those same front discs. That pattern indicates the tyre was replaced and the discs were either replaced or deemed within tolerance, suggesting the previous owner addressed the failure promptly rather than ignoring it. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a 2020 vehicle. It covered roughly 6,600 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, then about 6,600 miles again through February 2025, before climbing approximately 5,440 miles in the twelve months leading to the February 2026 test. No sudden jumps or suspicious plateaus appear in the data. Annual mileage sits close to the UK average, which implies regular use without prolonged standing that can cause brake surface corrosion or flat-spotted tyres. The recurring advisory for front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored across both the February 2026 fail and pass entries warrants a close physical inspection. A buyer should measure disc thickness and check for lipping, deep scoring, or uneven wear that could point to binding calipers or worn pad carriers. The nearside front tyre cut that caused the 2026 failure also raises a question about kerbing damage or alignment. Have the front tracking and suspension bushes, particularly the lower arm and anti-roll bar links, since uneven inner edge wear appeared on both fronts in the 2024 test. The 2024 advisory for inner edge wear on both front tyres suggests the geometry was already drifting out of specification, and if that was not corrected, it may have contributed to accelerated or uneven disc wear later. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the record is clean. No corrosion, suspension, or emissions defects have appeared across five consecutive tests. Still, a buyer should inspect the underside for stone-chip damage, check the condition of the rear brakes given they are less frequently flagged on this platform, and verify that the exhaust emissions remain stable under load. The overall picture is of a regularly used car with no systemic neglect, but the front brake and tyre history justifies a focused mechanical check before purchase.
