2019 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · LO69 KKW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 11 December 2025 at 67,266 miles, though the maintenance trend shows a recent dip in standards evidenced by a failure just one day prior. The tester flagged excessively worn pins or bushes on the lower suspension arms on both the nearside and offside front. While the car passed immediately after, this indicates the owner addressed a significant mechanical failure to bring the vehicle back to legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage between annual tests, moving from 20,630 miles in December 2022 to 34,606 miles in late 2023, and then to 52,721 miles by December 2024. This regularity suggests consistent road use rather than long periods of standing, which explains the natural wear observed on rubber-based suspension components during the late 2025 test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the lower control arms were replaced with high-quality components rather not merely repaired. Since both sides failed simultaneously in 2025, it is vital to check for any remaining play in the bushings which could indicate poor repair workmanship. The history lacks any advisories for structural corrosion or brake wear, which suggests the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound despite the recent suspension failure.
