2021 Skoda Superb SE L IV Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · PX71 OXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. While the test in November 2025 at 67,197 miles resulted in a pass, the advisories highlight front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a significant failure in December 2024 at 50,925 miles where both front tyres had exposed ply and cords. The pattern suggests the owner only replaces tyres when they reach critical failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 67,197 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 13,400 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a modern hybrid. The data shows a rapid accumulation of over 16,000 miles between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests. This high level of usage suggests frequent motorway driving, which is generally favourable for a heavy PHEV but places greater stress on the suspension bushings, braking components, and the hybrid drivetrain system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment. The recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and exposed cords indicate potential issues with wheel geometry, worn control arm bushes, or shocks. You should check the brake discs for thinness and binding calipers, as the high mileage on a heavy Superb can accelerate wear on the friction material. Given the advisory regarding a nail in the offside front tyre, verify the structural integrity of all remaining tyres to ensure no internal damage has occurred in the sidewalls.
