2023 Skoda Kodiaq SE L Exec TDI SCR 4X4SA 2.0L Diesel · PN72 VYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on January 2026 at 37,038 miles resulted in a pass, it followed two consecutive failures in late 2025. The transition from a failure in December 2025 to a pass in January 2026 suggests the owner addressed the specific mechanical faults only once they prevented a legal test certificate. At 37,038 miles over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 12,300 miles per annum. This sits above the national average for a diesel car. The data shows a significant period of activity, with 1,880 miles covered between the December 5 and December 30 tests in 2025 alone just five weeks. This rapid accumulation of mileage suggests consistent road use, which accelerates the wear on consumable components like the braking system and tyres, as evidenced in the MOT record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the December 2025 failure flagged both the front inner and rear brake pads as wearing thin. Although these were reportedly replaced before the January pass, the buyer should verify the condition of the discs for scoring or uneven wear which often accompanies worn pads. The recurring issues with the windscreen and washer system across three separate tests indicate a lack of attention to minor peripheral defects. Furthermore, the nearside rear tyre should be checked to ensure the nail noted in December 2025 was properly replaced and has not resulted in a slow leak or structural sidew damage.
