2009 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · KU09 KSF

The vehicle presents a stable but aging roadworthiness profile, showing a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent recorded test in February 2022 at 166,493 miles resulted in a failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring and multiple tyre defects. While the immediate failures were rectified, the persistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak from 2020 through 2022 suggests an ongoing engine seal issue that the owner has opted to tolerate. The recorded mileage of 166,493 miles over 17 years averages to approximately 9,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap in the data between the January 2021 test at 151,043 miles and the February 2022 test at 166,487 miles, representing an accumulation of 15,000 miles in a single year. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over four years, significantly increasing the risk of undetected mechanical failure or degradation of rubber components and safety systems. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and drivetrain, as the history shows recurring issues with nearside front suspension arm bushes in 2019 and a broken coil spring in 2022. The buyer should check the offside front CV boot for tearing, as a previous failure noted severe deterioration there. The recurring inner-edge wear on the offside rear tyre in 2022 also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorber that was never addressed. Furthermore, the source of the persistent oil leak noted across multiple tests should be identified to ensure it has not progressed from a minor seepage to a significant leak.
