2018 Skoda Kodiaq 1.4L Petrol · LC18 AAZ

The Skoda Kodiaq presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 April 2025 at 49,953 miles, some fifteen months before today’s evaluation, with the tester recording no defects. Maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle cleared its test after a same-day fail on 16 April 2025 at 49,945 miles where no defects were logged, mirroring a pattern seen in April 2024. Across the available history from April 2023 to April 2025, no mechanical advisories or faults appear, indicating no worsening or resolving fault cycle. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 34,595 miles at the April 2023 test. By 24 April 2024 it stood at 42,143 miles, rising to 42,151 miles on the pass next day. The April 2025 tests showed 49,945 then 49,953 miles. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 7,500 miles, slightly above the lifetime mean of 6,244 but consistent and unremarkable. No gaps exceed twelve months between tests, evidencing continuous annual examination and disciplined ownership. The repeated fail entries with no recorded defects warrant a direct question to the seller to confirm the cause, though the immediate subsequent passes suggest no lingering mechanical risk. Previous owners appear to have sustained the car to pass standard without deferred consumable replacement flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, plus underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions, as an MOT snapshot may miss incipient wear. No recurring corrosion or brake deficiencies are evidenced in the data. The Kodiaq’s low-stress mileage and clean test history imply light-to-moderate use. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition visually, but the record shows no minor consumable failures either. Overall, the mechanical verdict is favourable pending in-person confirmation of the anomalous fail reasons.
