2021 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · KE71 MVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 27,063 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a mechanical failure in the previous year. While the November 2025 test noted that front under-trays prevented a full inspection of the lower components, the lack of new recorded defects indicates that the immediate issues identified previously were likely addressed by the owner. At five years old, the recorded mileage of 27,063 miles represents low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has seen primarily short journeys, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension. However, the 904-mile gap between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests indicates a period of very low use which can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or flat-spotting if the car sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically examine the brake system during a physical inspection. The failure in November 2024 due to front brake pads below 1.5mm and thin rear pads indicates reactive maintenance. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the tester should verify that the replacement components were fitted correctly and that the discs show no scoring or glazing. Because the 2025 test had a obstructed view of the underbody, a thorough visual check of the lower chassis is necessary to ensure there are no fluid leaks or developing structural corrosion that the tester could not see through the under-trays.
