2023 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · RK23 WNX

This Skoda Kodiaq has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-02-20 with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status at the time of inspection. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle met all DVSA standards for brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity during that assessment. However, the lack of prior MOT history means there is no data to confirm whether this represents an ongoing trend or a first-time pass. Buyers should treat this as a baseline rather than a guarantee of future reliability. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 35,741 miles at the time of the most recent test aligns with typical usage for a three-year-old model, averaging around 11,914 miles annually. This suggests moderate, consistent use without extreme wear patterns. The absence of intermediate MOT tests or mileage updates means there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of disuse, which could have implications for suspension wear or battery health. Without further data, it remains impossible to assess whether maintenance intervals were adhered to or if critical components like timing belts or fluid changes were performed on schedule. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas that are not directly tested by the MOT. Focus on the suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not always flagged in a basic MOT. The brakes, while passing the last test, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or excessive disc wear, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. The battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, differential oil) should also be verified, as these are not routinely checked in an MOT. The absence of prior test data makes these areas particularly important for assessing long-term reliability.
