2015 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · RK65 KJF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a progression of mechanical wear in the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test in September 2025 at 136,490 miles identified oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber and surface pitting on both rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of these issues indicates that the rear suspension and braking hardware are now reaching the end of their functional life due to the high-mileage environment. The Superb has covered 136,490 miles over 11 years, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per annum. This consistent usage pattern is reflected in the data intervals, with roughly 12,000 miles recorded between August 2024 and September 2025, and another 8,300 miles in the preceding year. Such high annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen significant motorway use, which explains the accelerated degradation of consumable components like tyres and shock absorber dampers noted throughout the inspection history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the front shocks already failed for reduced damping in 2022 at 104,902 miles, and the rear units are now leaking. The history also notes a distorted nearside road wheel appearing between 2021 and 2022, which warrants a check for persistent alignment issues or uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for tyres worn to the limit in 2023 and 2024 suggest a history of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, necessitating an immediate check of the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres.
