2019 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · LM19 YSP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its latest test on January 15 2026 at 35,765 miles, the failure just one day prior revealed critical safety issues. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre with exposed cords on the sidewall, which prevented a full brake performance test from being conducted. This indicates that the owner only addresses defects once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing routine preventative checks between tests. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 35,765 miles represents an average of approximately 5,100 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the data indicates the vehicle sits for long periods. Between the January 2024 test at 26,908 miles and the January 2025 test at 31,129 miles, the car covered only 4,221 miles. Such low mileage is consistent with the appearance of age-related issues seen in the record. A buyer must inspect the rubber components thoroughly, as the 2026 record noted perishing and cracking on both rear tyres despite the low mileage. This is a common symptom of stationary vehicles where the rubber degrades before the tread wears down. The 2025 test also highlighted worn front brake discs and thin rear pads, suggesting that the braking system is nearing a service interval. The physical inspection should also verify the condition of the windscreen wipers, as the offside blade previously caused a failure due to poor clearing.
