2010 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · OY10 XAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 214,594 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in September 2023. While the 2023 test identified multiple safety-related wear issues, the subsequent passes in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the owner addressed the critical mechanical and tyre-related faults. The mileage data reveals highly inconsistent usage or extreme periods of operation. Between October 2022 and September 2023, the vehicle covered 127,494 miles in under a year, which is physically improbable for standard consumer use. Conversely, the recorded mileage between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests shows a drop of 101,837 miles, suggesting a discrepancy in the odometer readings or a significant recording error. The total distance of 214,594 miles on a 16-year-old Superb places immense stress on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the 2023 record flagged worn wishbone inner bushes and a misting nearside front shock absorber. Although these were cleared, the high mileage suggests that rubber components and seals are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The 2024 advisory regarding the supplementary restraint system warning lamp failing to illuminate is a critical safety concern that indicates a potential airbag fault which must be verified to ensure the safety system is operational. Given the history of thin brake pads noted in 2022, the current state of the discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or excessive corrosion.
