2020 Skoda Superb 1.6L Diesel · SA70 WBZ

The 2020 Skoda Superb is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-01-27, where it passed with only tyre-related advisories. However, the maintenance trend is worsening, as the same vehicle failed the previous MOT on the identical mileage just a few weeks prior due to the same tyre wear issues. This indicates a persistent problem with tyre condition that may stem from alignment issues, suspension wear, or aggressive driving habits, rather than isolated tyre degradation. The vehicle has accumulated 100,309 miles in approximately six years, averaging nearly 16,700 miles annually—a high rate for its age. This rapid accumulation is evident in the MOT history, which shows a significant jump from 47,492 miles in February 2024 to 75,211 miles by February 2025, and then to 100,309 miles by January 2026. The lack of MOT entries between 2025 and 2026 suggests either infrequent testing or a gap in the record, but the consistent high mileage implies regular use and potential accelerated wear on components such as brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The most concerning recurring issue is the tyre wear, particularly on the front axle, which has been flagged in both the failed and passed tests. This warrants a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, including control arms, bushes, and wheel alignment. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as worn and scored in 2023, and given the high mileage, it is likely they have continued to degrade. A buyer should also check for corrosion on the underbody and suspension components, as well as inspect the condition of the rear suspension coil springs and shock absorbers, which may be contributing to uneven tyre wear.
