2017 Skoda Superb 1.4L Petrol · LL17 LMY

The 2026-06-17 test was a PASSED MOT for the 2017 SKODA SUPERB, confirming that the vehicle is roadworthy for the current year. However, the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of failure and accelerating wear. While the 2025 test passed on 37,152 miles, the subsequent 2024 test at 33,365 miles failed for the same reasons, indicating that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep since late 2024. This gap in maintenance suggests that the owner may have relied on a standard inspection rather than a thorough diagnostic, leading to the accumulation of wear that is now causing the MOT to fail. Regarding the mileage trend, the vehicle has maintained a relatively low mileage profile for its age, averaging approximately 4,128 miles per year. This is considered low for a 2017 model, which typically requires 1,000–1,500 miles per year for a safe driving record. The data shows no significant acceleration of miles per year since the 2025 test, suggesting that the vehicle has been used for a standard period. However, the consistent failure rate despite this low mileage indicates that the mechanical components are at risk of premature failure, likely due to neglected servicing rather than excessive wear. Given the recurring faults, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and critical wear items. The most significant risks involve the suspension, specifically the corroded rear coil spring and the worn front windscreen. Furthermore, the rear brake pads and discs show signs of thinness and pitting, which may indicate that the brake system is not fully functional and could lead to dangerous failure if not serviced immediately. The history also highlights a lack of inspection on the headlamps, which are critical components for visibility. A thorough inspection is required to assess the condition of these components and to determine if the vehicle requires immediate professional intervention or continued monitoring.
