2018 Skoda Kodiaq 1.4L Petrol · LC18 ABV

The 2018 Skoda Kodiaq presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-01 confirming no defects at 72,043 miles. However, a prior failed test on the same date at 72,036 miles—despite no recorded issues—suggests potential administrative inconsistencies or minor unresolved matters. The absence of defects in the 2024-04-18 and 2023-05-02 tests indicates consistent compliance, though the vehicle’s 8-year lifespan with 72,043 miles (roughly 9,005 annual miles) aligns with typical usage, avoiding extreme wear patterns. Mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with 52,202 miles in 2023-05-02 rising to 61,956 by 2024-04-18—a 9,754-mile increase over 11 months—then 10,087 miles to 72,043 by 2025-05-01. This suggests moderate usage, though the rapid jump between 2024 and 2025 tests may hint at increased activity. No significant gaps or anomalies in the record indicate consistent monitoring, though the 2025-05-01 failure without defects raises questions about the test’s accuracy or the vehicle’s immediate condition. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are common areas for degradation over 8 years. While MOT data shows no critical faults, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor issues, necessitating a physical inspection for hidden concerns.
