2019 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · ML19 XTR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding suspension and tyre care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 105,974 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior. That failed test identified excessive wear on both front lower suspension arm ball joints and a front tyre reaching the legal limit. The fact that these critical components were only addressed after a failure suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative upkeep. The data reflects a high mileage profile of 105,974 miles over seven years, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. There is a significant acceleration in usage noted between April 2024 and April 2026, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation explains the frequent appearance of wear on consumables and suspension components, such as the transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple defects in 2024 and 2026. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and bushes. The 2024 test flagged separating rear bushes on both sides, and the 2026 failure confirmed the front joints have now perished, indicating the high mileage is putting significant stress on the chassis and rubber components. Additionally, the consistent history of uneven tyre wear and TPMS pressure warnings indicates a lack of basic vehicle monitoring and alignment checks, which can lead to premature drivetrain strain if ignored.
