2021 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · KN71 XCL

The 2021 Skoda Kodiaq presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 4 September 2025 at 26,392 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, as the previous test on 9 September 2024 at 19,078 miles also returned a completely clean pass with no advisories or failures. No recurring faults appear in the record, which is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order across its two recorded tests. At roughly 5,278 miles per year, the mileage is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle. The gap between the two tests shows an accumulation of 7,314 miles over the twelve-month period from September 2024 to September 2025, which is a modest and consistent increase rather than a sudden spike. The sparse record, limited to just two MOT entries, leaves the earlier maintenance history unaccounted for, but the current data suggests light, steady use rather than prolonged standing or aggressive mileage accumulation. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, or deteriorated rubber suspension bushes and dust covers that may not yet present as a testable fault. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, inspect all tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking given the 2021 date, and examine the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes. The exhaust system and DPF should also be assessed for correct function, as short-journey use can lead to incomplete regeneration cycles and soot accumulation that a single annual MOT may not immediately flag.
