2022 Skoda Enyaq IV 60 Electric · MW22 VVE

The most recent DVSA MOT test, conducted on 16 June 2026, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a positive maintenance signal for the vehicle, as the previous test on 13 June 2025 also passed without any noted issues. The only blemish in the available history is a failure recorded just two days before the successful 2025 test, addressing two major defects: an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and a dipswitch that failed to operate immediately when selected on dipped beam. The fact that both issues were rectified within a matter of days, and that the subsequent tests have passed cleanly, suggests that the vehicle has been returned to sound mechanical condition. However, the absence of any advisories on the passing tests means there is no formal DVSA insight into emerging wear items, and a prospective buyer should not infer a fault-free vehicle from a clean pass alone. The overall trend is one of stable compliance, but the prior anti-roll bar defect warrants physical verification to ensure the repair has held adequately. With a recorded mileage of 40,801 miles over an estimated four-year service life, the Enyaq is accumulating roughly 10,200 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a modern family-oriented electric SUV of this age. There are no glaring anomalies in the recorded mileage progression that would suggest either prolonged periods of standing or exceptionally heavy use, both of which carry distinct mechanical consequences for an EV such as this. Nevertheless, even typical annual mileage will place reasonable demands on the consumable items shared with conventional vehicles, including the tyres, brake system, suspension components, and cooling systems for the battery and power electronics. Because the MOT history does not record individual component wear items, the buyer must rely on physical inspection to gauge the present condition of these parts. For a 2022 Enyaq approaching four years of service, several time and usage-related items warrant close attention regardless of the clean MOT record. Tyre condition should be assessed not only for tread depth but for sidewall perishing or cracking, as rubber compounds degrade with age even on low-mileage vehicles, and the additional weight of an EV places elevated stress on the tyres. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems in many EVs including the Skoda, is known to suffer reduced service life when the vehicle is left standing for extended periods and should be load-tested to confirm it holds sufficient charge. Brake discs and calipers can suffer from corrosion or binding through infrequent use, particularly given the regenerative braking system reduces reliance on the friction brakes, so a thorough inspection of disc surface condition, caliper slide pins, and pad material is prudent. All fluid systems, including the brake fluid (which is hygroscopic and degrades on a calendar basis), the coolant for the thermal management of the battery and motor, and any reduction gearbox oil where applicable, should have documented replacement in line with manufacturer schedules, and the service book should be examined for evidence of these intervals being observed. During a test drive, particular attention should be paid to any symptoms that could indicate lingering suspension concerns following the previously recorded anti-roll bar linkage replacement. Listen for clonks, knocks, or creaks from the front end, particularly over uneven road surfaces, speed bumps, or during direction changes, which could suggest a degraded ball joint, worn bushes, or coil spring issues. The headlight dipswitch operation should be verified directly to confirm the immediate activation fault has not recurred, as electrical gremlins can resurface intermittently. Steering response should be precise and free from excess play, and the vehicle should track straight without pulling, which would indicate uneven tyre wear or alignment issues. Finally, the high-voltage battery state of health should ideally be verified through a diagnostic readout, as this is the single most significant factor in the long-term value and usability of any used EV, and any discrepancy between displayed range and expected performance warrants further investigation.
