2017 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · HV67 SVC

The 2017 Škoda Kodiaq has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, culminating in a pass on 14 November 2025 at 65,915 miles. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not meticulous, maintenance. However, the single failure in November 2022—just nine miles before the preceding pass—indicates a potential oversight rather than a systemic issue, as the same test date and mileage anomaly suggests a possible administrative error rather than recurring mechanical failure. The most recent test, just six months ago, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the next MOT is due soon. Mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 7,300 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage, though the 2022 test shows an unusually close pass/fail at 42,716 and 42,729 miles, which may warrant further clarification. The lack of significant mileage jumps or extended periods of inactivity suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, reducing the risk of neglected fluid changes or prolonged component degradation. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on brake discs, while not flagged in the MOT, could emerge from the lack of advisories in previous tests. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this era. Additionally, the exhaust system and emissions controls, though not noted in failures, may require verification for leaks or degraded catalytic converter efficiency. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
