2018 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · SB67 AMK

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 5 January 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend indicates emerging mechanical wear. While the 2025 test recorded no defects, the 2026 advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint suggests the onset of component degradation. This follows a period of relatively clean results in 2025, but marks a shift from the consumable-focused advisories seen in previous years. The recorded mileage of 116,956 miles for an eight-year-old vehicle indicates an average annual usage of approximately 14,620 miles. This level of mileage is higher than the UK average and implies consistent long-distance or heavy use. The MOT history spans from 2022 to 2026, providing a consistent annual testing pattern without significant gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the suspension and braking systems. The 2026 advisory regarding the nearside front ball joint, combined with the 2023 advisories for thin rear brake pads and pitted rear brake discs, suggests these components may require imminent replacement. The history also shows recurring issues with nearside rear tyres, specifically regarding sidewall damage and wear in 2023 and 2024, which indicates a pattern of tyre degradation that warrants a close check of current tread depth and sidewall integrity.
