2021 Skoda Enyaq IV 60 Electric · HJ71 VTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 21, 2025, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning lack of proactive care. While the car passed its latest test at 15,926 miles, it had failed just four days prior at 15,895 miles for multiple significant defects. The transition from failure to pass indicates the previous owner only performed the minimum repairs required to satisfy the MOT tester rather than addressing comprehensive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,185 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 11,115 miles and the October 2025 test at 15,926 miles, the car covered only 4,811 miles. This low usage often results in vehicles sitting for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting on tyres, potentially correlating with the specific wear issues identified in the 2025 records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension arm bushes, as these were flagged in both the October 2025 test entries despite not resulting in excessive movement at the time. The recurring failure regarding all four tyres wearing on the edges suggests a persistent alignment issue or incorrect geometry settings that remain unverified resolved. Furthermore, the previous cut on the offside rear tyre reaching the cords highlights a history of neglecting basic safety inspections, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining tyre set for structural damage or uneven wear patterns.
