2021 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · HT70 ACO

This Skoda Kodiaq has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with all three most recent tests—conducted in January 2025, December 2023, and January 2021—resulting in clean passes and no recorded defects. The most recent test, just six months ago on 21 January 2026, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the 12-month interval between tests is now slightly overdue. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or repeated failures, which suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without major mechanical neglect. However, the absence of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough inspection, as some components—particularly those subject to wear—may now require attention beyond what the MOT covers. The recorded mileage of 47,514 miles at the time of the latest test indicates an average annual distance of approximately 9,500 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history that would suggest prolonged inactivity, nor are there abrupt spikes in mileage that might indicate aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The intervals between tests—12 months between December 2023 and January 2025, and another 12 months to January 2026—are standard, though the upcoming test is now overdue by six months. This regularity in testing suggests the vehicle has been kept in motion rather than stored, which is generally positive for components like suspension bushes and brake calipers. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that fall outside the MOT’s scope, such as the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit fatigue over 47,000 miles. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has experienced aggressive stopping patterns. Tyre tread depth, though not noted in the record, is critical—failing twice on tread in prior tests would be a red flag, but here the absence of such failures suggests they may still have adequate life, though a visual check is essential. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch integrity, should also be assessed, as these issues often develop gradually and are not always captured in a standard MOT. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive smoke, as these can indicate deeper drivetrain or engine issues.
