2021 Skoda Superb SE L TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · KY71 UDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect maintenance to reactive repairs. While the car achieved two clean records in 2024 and 2025, the test on June 1 2026 at 48,618 miles flagged multiple defects related to the braking system and tyres. This transition suggests that components are now reaching their wear limit and that maintenance may have been deferred until failure rather than scheduled intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a diesel saloon, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The vehicle progressed from 16,368 miles in June 2024 to 33,854 miles in June 2025, and reached 48,618 miles by the June 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, though the sudden increase in mileage over the final year aligns with the mechanical wear observed on the rear braking components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking assembly. The tester noted pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads in the June 2026 test, indicating that a full rear disc and pad replacement is likely required to ensure effective stopping. The report of cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre suggests rubber age or impact damage despite the relatively low mileage. The buyer should check all remaining tyres for similar sidewall cracking and inspect the brake calipers for signs of seizing which could have caused the uneven pitting observed on the discs.
