2021 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · LK21 FBF

The Skoda Kodiaq presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a fully passed MOT on 16 April 2026 at 37,750 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and currently improving, as the vehicle has cleared its last three consecutive tests without any failures or advisories. The only recorded defect in the entire history was a minor, rectified failure on 3 May 2024 at 23,447 miles, where the tester flagged an ineffective offside front wiper blade. This is a routine consumable issue rather than a mechanical concern, and the subsequent pass on the same day confirms the owner addressed it immediately. The mileage accumulation is entirely consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady progression from 23,447 miles in May 2024, through 31,101 miles by May 2025, up to 37,750 miles in April 2026. This equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year, which is well within the normal range and suggests regular, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage wear. The gap between the May 2025 and April 2026 tests covers approximately 6,649 miles over eleven months, indicating sustained daily or weekly driving without any suspicious mileage anomalies. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. With nearly 38,000 miles on the clock, consumable components such as brake discs, pads, and tyres may be approaching replacement intervals depending on driving conditions. The suspension system, including front and rear bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, warrants close scrutiny for any deterioration or oil weeping. A test drive should specifically check for binding calipers, uneven braking pull, and any unusual drivetrain vibrations that MOT static inspections may not fully expose. The vehicle's structural integrity and underbody condition deserve particular attention given its age and mileage. Inspect the subframes, sills, and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion or previous accident repair, as these are not always visible during a standard MOT. Check the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, and verify that the engine and gearbox are free from fluid seepage. The clean MOT history strongly suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains the most reliable way to confirm long-term mechanical soundness.
