2020 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · LCL 15T

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the recent MOT history indicates a shift from a perfect record to minor consumable neglect. The most recent test in October 2025 at 47,153 miles passed, yet introduced the first recorded defects in a three-year history. The presence of perishing and cracking on both rear tyres alongside a chip in the windscreen suggests a decline in attention to minor preventative maintenance items compared to the previous two clean inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-use cycles, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 28,915 miles and October 2024 at 38,012 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by another 9,141 miles in the subsequent year. This steady, predictable mileage accumulation suggests regular usage habits which generally mitigate the risk of seized components or fluid degradation compared to vehicles with long low-mileage periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as the perishing noted in the 2025 test indicates the rubber may be hardening due to age despite having sufficient tread depth. The windscreen chip requires monitoring to ensure it does not propagate across the driver's field of vision. Since the previous tests showed no issues with braking systems or suspension components, the focus should remain on verifying the absence of worn suspension bushes or brake caliper corrosion to confirm the mechanical integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
