2026 Skoda Kodiaq SE L TDI S-A Diesel · ML26 WFP

As this is a 2026 model and the current date is September 2026, there is no MOT history available for this vehicle. In the United Kingdom, new vehicles are exempt from MOT testing until they reach their third anniversary. Therefore, it is impossible to evaluate a maintenance trend, identify recurring defects, or assess the historical mechanical stability of the vehicle through official DVSA records at this time. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, making it impossible to determine the annual usage rate or identify any significant gaps in driving patterns. For a vehicle of this age, the absence of mileage data means a buyer cannot distinguish between a low-mileage example that may have suffered from lack of use and a higher-mileage example that has been regularly driven. It is vital to establish whether the vehicle has been used for frequent short journeys, which can lead to issues such as DPF clogging in a TDI engine, or long-distance driving which typically keeps the engine and exhaust systems in better condition. Since there is no documented test history, the inspection must rely on a thorough physical assessment and verification of the service history. You should confirm that the manufacturer's service schedule has been strictly adhered to and that all pre-delivery inspections are documented. Check the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods. Inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and listen for any binding or squealing from the calipers during the test drive. Furthermore, check the battery health and ensure all electrical components operate correctly, as even new vehicles can experience battery degradation from standing. Verify all fluid levels, including coolant and brake fluid, noting that these are subject to calendar-based degradation regardless of mileage. Pay close attention to the engine's performance during a test drive, ensuring it starts promptly and idles smoothly to rule out any early-stage fuel system or emissions issues. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or premature corrosion on suspension components to ensure the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity is sound.
