2019 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · HS68 LLD

This Skoda Kodiaq has maintained a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 2025-07-09 at 82,789 miles. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance over its seven-year lifespan. The tester’s repeated pass marks—particularly the lack of even minor advisories—indicates no obvious patterns of neglect or deferred repairs, though this does not preclude undocumented wear or hidden failures. The mileage progression reveals a steady, moderate usage pattern, averaging roughly 11,800 miles annually. There are no significant gaps between tests, with the closest interval between 2024-09-13 and 2025-07-09 (just under ten months) and the longest between 2022-01-26 and 2022-09-12 (eight months). This regularity implies the vehicle was likely driven consistently rather than left unused for extended periods, which could have accelerated certain forms of wear. The lack of abrupt mileage jumps or prolonged inactivity also reduces the risk of severe corrosion or fluid degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that aren’t routinely tested under the MOT regime. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be scrutinised for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common areas of gradual failure in vehicles of this age and mileage. Brake systems warrant close attention, especially the rear calipers and discs, which may develop binding or uneven wear over time despite passing MOT checks. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the subframe and wheel bearings, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately affecting drivability. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity should be verified, as catalytic converter or muffler failures often go unnoticed until they become severe.
