2025 Skoda Kodiaq SE L TSI E-TEC Mhev S-A 1.5L Hybrid electric · LP25 OBN

This 2025 SKODA KODIAQ SE L TSI E-TEC MHEV S-A currently holds no recorded DVSA MOT test history, which is consistent with its registration year. Vehicles first registered in the United Kingdom are not required to undertake an MOT test until they reach three years of age, meaning the first statutory roadworthiness examination for this Kodiaq would only be due in 2028. In the absence of any MOT data, it is not possible to establish a maintenance trend, identify recurring defects, or evaluate whether the vehicle is mechanically stable, worsening, or improving over time. Prospective buyers should treat the absence of MOT history as neutral information rather than evidence of poor condition, and instead rely on alternative verification methods such as confirmed Skoda main dealer or specialist service history, documented warranty work, and a thorough pre-purchase inspection. The recorded mileage is not available, and there is insufficient data to benchmark annual usage against the vehicle's one-year age. Without mileage progression records across annual service intervals or DVSA mileage captures, it is not possible to determine whether the vehicle has been used for high-mileage motorway commuting, low-mileage urban driving, or has potentially experienced prolonged periods of standing. This is particularly relevant for a mild-hybrid e-TEC model, where prolonged inactivity can affect the 48V lithium-ion battery pack, the conventional 12V battery, brake caliper function, and the condition of perishable rubber and polymer components. Any prospective purchase should ideally be accompanied by documented odometer readings from each scheduled service to confirm consistent and genuine mileage accumulation. Given the lack of MOT advisory data, the buyer must focus their evaluation on age-related and calendar-based deterioration rather than recorded wear patterns. Tyres fitted from the factory in 2024 or 2025 should be inspected carefully for sidewall perishing, cracking, and ozone degradation, even if the tread depth remains adequate, as rubber compounds deteriorate with time regardless of mileage use. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored outside or subjected to short urban journeys that prevent the discs from fully drying and self-cleaning, and a test drive should confirm smooth, judder-free braking without any binding or pulling to either side. The exhaust system, including the mild-hybrid electrical components and underfloor shielding, should be visually inspected for any signs of corrosion or physical damage. Given the mild-hybrid architecture, particular care should be taken to assess the auxiliary hybrid battery health via a diagnostic scan capable of reading the high-voltage system status, as 48V battery degradation can present without obvious external symptoms. All fluids, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and the DSG automatic transmission fluid if so equipped, should be verified as recently serviced within the manufacturer's time-based intervals, as Skoda recommends fluid changes based on calendar age as well as mileage. The cooling system hoses, turbocharger oil feed lines, and charge air pipes should be inspected for any signs of leakage, as the 1.5 TSI engine is known to require close attention to sealing components. Finally, the infotainment system, electronic stability control, lane assist, and parking sensors should be functionally tested during the viewing, and a comprehensive Skoda dealer or independent specialist inspection is strongly recommended to provide confidence in this nearly new Kodiaq before purchase.
