2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · HV67 DPE

The most recent DVSA test on 24 September 2025 at 220,520 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that point. Maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with passes in October 2022, September 2023, and September 2024 interrupted only by an anomalous failure on 30 September 2024 at 197,789 miles that listed no defects yet was followed by a pass at 197,790 miles later the same day. The official record shows no recurring advisories on suspension, brakes, or emissions. The 2017 Skoda Superb has covered 220,520 miles in roughly nine years, an average of about 24,500 miles per year. Mileage rose from 139,844 on 3 October 2022 to 171,190 on 15 September 2023, then to 197,790 on 30 September 2024, and reached 220,520 by 24 September 2025. This steady high accumulation points to sustained long-distance or fleet use rather than intermittent urban commuting. The MOT sequence is sparse but unbroken, with no gaps beyond thirteen months and no minor consumable flags such as tyre wear or wiper blades. Despite the clean test outcomes, a buyer should physically examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for high-mileage fatigue not yet flagged by testers. The unexplained failure on 30 September 2024 requires direct questioning of the seller to verify whether a latent fault such as corrosion or an exhaust emission irregularity was corrected off-record. Structural integrity at sills and chassis mounts warrants close inspection for hidden rust given the annual distance travelled. The immediate retest pass implies the previous keeper resolved any issue promptly, suggesting acceptable basic upkeep. Nevertheless, drivetrain components including clutch and turbo have absorbed substantial load and may approach service limits invisible to MOT. A independent pre-purchase mechanical inspection remains prudent for a vehicle of this mileage.
