2020 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · SA69 YJO

The vehicle passed its last recorded MOT in February 2023, but the history reveals significant mechanical wear at that time. With 105,032 miles recorded, this car has been driven roughly 17,500 miles per year, which is high for a six-year-old vehicle. This level of usage suggests heavy use, which typically leads to accelerated wear on suspension, steering, and braking components. The main risk pattern identified is a systemic issue with the suspension and steering systems. The 2023 inspection noted play in the steering rack inner joint, oil misting on all four shock absorbers, and de-bonding bushes on both front upper suspension arms. This indicates that the vehicle's damping and structural stability components were already reaching the end of their serviceable life. Given that the provided MOT data is from early 2023 and the vehicle has high mileage, the condition of these specific components is a major concern. If these parts were not replaced following the 2023 MOT, the mechanical condition is almost certainly worsening. Even if they were repaired, the high annual mileage means they will be subject to rapid subsequent wear. You should prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering response to check for any play, knocks, or looseness.
