2020 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · KY20 KKX

The Skoda Kodiaq presents as roadworthy following the 13 March 2026 MOT pass at 41,078 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend remains stable, as the most recent test shows a clean sheet and the prior annual checks revealed no progressive mechanical deterioration. The vehicle cleared its 19 March 2025 test at 33,787 miles without fault after a failed attempt the previous day. Mileage accumulation tracks typical private use for a six-year-old SUV. The odometer read 26,261 miles on 19 March 2024, rose to 33,787 by 19 March 2025, and reached 41,078 by 13 March 2026. This equates to roughly 7,000 miles per annum, reflecting gentle annual growth with no sudden spikes or dormant periods. The sparse record shows only annual examinations, yet the consistent distances imply regular but undemanding service. Buyer should still seek the underlying causes of the two anomalous failures. On 18 March 2024 at 26,252 miles and again on 18 March 2025 at 33,778 miles the tester issued a fail yet logged no defects, followed by passes next day with zero advisories. Such patterns can signal administrative rejections rather than worn components, but physical verification remains prudent. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers and discs for binding or wear, and check structural members for corrosion. Examine exhaust emissions and tyre tread depth during a personal viewing. The absent advisories suggest previous owners addressed consumables promptly, though the repeated fail-pass cycle hints at last-minute rectifications before test. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm chassis integrity and verify the DVSA failure reasons to rule out omitted faults.
