2018 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · LL06 AJL

The 2018 Skoda Kodiaq presents an exceptionally clean MOT record, with the most recent test conducted on 28 April 2026 at 49,873 miles passing with zero defects. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and improving. A minor advisory for nearside and offside rear tyre wear noted in the April 2022 test at 25,366 miles has not recurred in any subsequent examination, indicating the previous owner addressed the issue promptly and has maintained consistent tyre condition since. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural defects across its entire recorded history. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,234 miles per year is entirely typical for an eight-year-old vehicle and suggests regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high annual distances. The odometer readings show a consistent and proportionate progression: 25,366 miles in April 2022, 33,664 miles in April 2023, 41,327 miles in April 2024, 44,556 miles in April 2025, and 49,873 miles in April 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the data that would suggest odometer tampering or extended periods of disuse that could lead to deterioration of seals, hoses, or brake components from standing corrosion. Despite the clean paper record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The 2022 advisory for rear tyre edge wear suggests the vehicle may have a subtle rear suspension alignment or tracking issue that, while not severe enough to fail an MOT, could resurface under different load or driving conditions. Have the rear suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and tracking geometry inspected on a four-post lift. Examine the condition of the brake discs and pads across all corners, as consumable wear at this mileage is expected even if not yet flagged. Check the underside for any corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, or exhaust components, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in areas with heavy road salt use. The powertrain should be assessed for any signs of oil or coolant leaks around the engine and gearbox, and the exhaust system should be inspected for emissions compliance under cold-start conditions, as these are items that can deteriorate between annual tests without triggering a failure until they become severe.
