2021 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · KT71 EOU

The vehicle presents a sound roadworthiness profile with a clearly improving maintenance trajectory. The most recent MOT, conducted on 3 February 2026 at 36,969 miles, passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. This is a marked improvement over the preceding test in December 2024, which flagged a specific braking concern. The absence of any new advisories or failures in the latest entry indicates that the previous defect was rectified promptly and no further mechanical deterioration has occurred in the subsequent fourteen months. Mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of regular, moderate use. Between the December 2024 test at 25,265 miles and the February 2026 test at 36,969 miles, the vehicle covered 11,704 miles over approximately fourteen months, equating to roughly 836 miles per month. This represents a notable uptick compared to the vehicle's lifetime average of around 616 miles per month, suggesting the current or most recent keeper has been using the car more frequently. The gap between tests is slightly longer than the standard twelve-month interval, which may reflect a change in ownership pattern or scheduling, but the mileage recorded is entirely plausible and does not raise concerns about clocking. The sole defect on record, rear brake pads wearing thin identified at 25,265 miles in December 2024, is a routine consumable wear item rather than a structural or systemic failure. Its absence from the 2026 test confirms replacement was carried out. Buyers should still verify the condition of the rear braking assembly in person, checking for uneven disc wear, binding calipers, and the integrity of brake lines and hoses, as these components often receive less attention than the pads themselves. Given the Sportline trim's firmer suspension specification, a close visual inspection of front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for leaks or deterioration is advisable. The exhaust system and its mountings merit attention at this mileage, as do tyre condition and alignment, particularly given the increased usage rate observed in the most recent ownership period.
