2017 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · LC67 MWP

The 2017 Škoda Kodiaq has maintained a clean MOT history since its last test on 26 November 2025, with no defects recorded at 25,938 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, and emissions without fail in the past year. The absence of advisories or repeated failures indicates no obvious mechanical degradation or neglect, though the most recent test does not provide a detailed inspection report for deeper structural or hidden issues. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, but the low mileage—particularly the 2022 test at 15,369 miles—raises questions about its storage or usage history, as such low annual mileage (around 2,882 miles per year) is unusual for a vehicle of this age and class. The mileage progression shows an unusually slow accumulation, with gaps of roughly 3,000 miles between tests in recent years. The jump from 10,990 miles in December 2021 to 15,369 miles in November 2022 suggests a period of minimal use, potentially indicating long-term storage or infrequent driving. This could imply deferred maintenance on consumables like fluids, belts, and filters, even if the MOT tests themselves passed. The 2022 test did flag all four tyres as slightly damaged or perishing, a minor but notable oversight, as this fault should have prompted immediate replacement rather than being left unaddressed for over three years. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the tyres, particularly the nearside and offside fronts, which were last noted as compromised in 2022. The tread depth and structural integrity of these tyres are critical, as prolonged use on worn rubber increases the risk of blowouts or reduced grip. Given the vehicle’s low mileage, attention should also be given to fluid levels—brake, coolant, power steering, and differential—and their condition, as stagnation can lead to contamination or degradation. The suspension bushes and coil springs, while not explicitly flagged, warrant scrutiny for wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or rust, as emissions-related faults are not recorded but could develop over time in a vehicle with limited driving history.
