2020 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · LL70 FHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a sudden lapse in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 25 September 2025 at 39,038 miles, it had failed that same day due to significant issues with the front suspension and tyre condition. This trend suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when necessitated by a test failure rather than replacing worn components during a scheduled service interval. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. There is a gap of 8,588 miles between the September 2024 test at 30,450 miles and the September 2025 test, following a much shorter interval of only 3,435 miles in the 2023 test. This low mileage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the recent suspension failure shows that rubber components may be degrading from age despite the low distance covered. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the front geometry to ensure the suspension arm bushes flagged in September 2025 were actually replaced correctly. The tester noted excessive wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins, which often leads to alignment issues and rapid uneven tyre wear. You should specifically check the front tyres for irregular patterns, as the record shows they were both close to the legal limit and worn on the edges prior to the last pass.
