2022 Skoda Enyaq IV 60 Electricity · LB71 RTX

The most recent DVSA examination on 22 January 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, defects, or failure points recorded, indicating that at the time of test the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements. The 2025 calendar year also shows a pass on 23 January 2025 with no defects, though the same date carries a failed entry; this is a standard administrative pattern in MOT records where a vehicle is submitted, fails, is rectified off-site, and is subsequently presented for a partial re-test which is then logged as a pass on the same date. Crucially, no specific failure items are recorded against the failed entry, so there is no documentary evidence of what prompted the initial refusal, and the clean subsequent re-test suggests the issue was addressed to a satisfactory standard. Overall, the maintenance trend can be regarded as stable, with two consecutive clean passes and no recurring advisories that would suggest a developing fault pattern. The recorded mileage of 22,603 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of around 5,650 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age and well below the typical UK mileage band for a family electric SUV. This pattern is consistent with either secondary-car usage, predominantly urban running, or extended periods of standing between uses. The Skoda Enyaq iV 60 is a battery-electric vehicle, so the wear implications of low mileage differ from those of a combustion counterpart: there is no traditional clutch, timing belt, or exhaust system to worry about, but the regenerative braking system means the mechanical brake discs and pads may have experienced limited use and could be susceptible to corrosion through lack of regular application, and the 12V auxiliary battery, tyre sidewalls, and various rubber and polymer components remain subject to calendar-based degradation regardless of distance covered. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of recorded advisory items, a prospective buyer should focus on age-related rather than wear-related deterioration. The tyres warrant close physical inspection for sidewall cracking, perishing, and tread depth, as tyres degrade with age irrespective of mileage, and the original fitment on a 2022 vehicle may now be approaching the end of its service life even with adequate tread remaining. Brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion, pitting, or lipping, and the calipers should be checked for binding by ensuring they release cleanly, as prolonged standing can lead to seized slider pins and uneven pad wear. The 12V auxiliary battery, which manages ancillaries and control systems on this model, should be load-tested, as low-mileage electric vehicles are particularly prone to premature 12V battery failure due to infrequent long-duration driving cycles. Brake fluid should also be verified as within its replacement interval, as hygroscopic fluid degrades on a time basis and typically requires renewal every two years regardless of mileage, and the coolant circuits for the electric drive and battery thermal management should be inspected for condition and correct specification. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to any unusual noises from the suspension, including clunks or knocking over speed bumps and rough surfaces, which could indicate worn anti-roll bar bushes or top mount deterioration that an MOT would not necessarily flag. The steering should feel precise and free of vibration, and the vehicle should track true without pulling, as any deviation could suggest uneven tyre pressure, geometry issues, or brake drag from a binding caliper. The regenerative braking behaviour should be smooth and consistent across different modes, and a firm application of the footbrake from a moderate speed should produce a straight, vibration-free stop without pulling to either side. Finally, the charging system, including the DC rapid charging capability, the onboard AC charger function, and the high-voltage battery state of health, should be independently verified through a diagnostic report, as these represent the principal long-term value considerations of the vehicle and are entirely outside the scope of any MOT examination.
