2017 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · LR67 WGG

The most recent MOT test on 21 July 2025 confirms this Skoda Kodiaq remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 69,044 miles. While the history includes two failed tests at the same mileage in 2023 and 2024—both on the same date—these were resolved without further issues, suggesting either a one-off administrative error or a minor oversight corrected promptly. The consistent pass since then indicates the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures, though the repeated failures at 39,630 miles warrant scrutiny of components prone to early wear, such as suspension mounts or brake calipers, which are often flagged for minor oversights. The absence of advisories or major defects in the last two tests implies the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no detailed service history is available to confirm preventive care. The recorded mileage of 69,044 miles over approximately nine years—roughly 7,672 miles annually—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate usage without excessive wear. Notably, there is a 7,662-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOT tests, which could indicate either a period of low mileage or a delay in testing. The identical mileage for the two 2023 and 2024 tests (39,630 and 57,292 miles respectively) suggests the vehicle was not driven significantly between those dates, which may explain the failed tests if minor issues were overlooked during storage. The most recent test in 2025, however, shows no such delays, reinforcing that the vehicle has been driven normally since then. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are commonly flagged in MOT failures for minor defects. The repeated failures at the same mileage in 2023 and 2024 hint at potential wear in the brake system, so binding calipers, unevenly worn discs, or seized wheel bearings should be checked. Structural integrity is another concern—corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or subframe areas should be examined, especially given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT record shows no major failures, these areas are critical for long-term reliability and should not be overlooked.
