2016 Skoda Superb 1.6L Diesel · HV66 FFC

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-13 recorded a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, indicating ongoing tyre wear. This follows a pattern of tyre-related issues dating back to 2021, including cracks, nails, and uneven wear. The 2024-11-06 MOT noted a nearside rear tyre with cracking or perishing, while 2023-09-20 and 2022-09-21 entries highlighted similar tyre damage and windscreen cracks. These recurring tyre and windscreen issues suggest a consistent risk of component degradation, possibly linked to low mileage or storage conditions. The trend shows no clear worsening of critical faults, but the repeated tyre damage and windscreen cracks imply potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions. The 2021 MOT mentioned low rear brake pads, which were not revisited in later tests, suggesting possible replacement. However, the lack of follow-up on brake wear is a gap in the history. The vehicle’s low mileage (5,419 miles per year) could indicate infrequent use or long periods of inactivity, which might accelerate rubber component failure (tyres, seals) or corrosion. The mileage context is ambiguous: while lower mileage often correlates with less mechanical wear, it may also mean the car has not been driven enough to maintain optimal system function. This could lead to issues like stiff suspension components, seized brake calipers, or battery degradation.
