2018 Skoda Kodiaq 1.4L Petrol · SC67 LAE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on March 13, 2026 at 141,489 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the defects identified in previous years seem to have been addressed. The absence of any recorded advisories or defects in the most recent test suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding mechanical repairs, despite the high-use environment typically associated with this mileage. The mileage profile is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,700 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent and rapid accumulation of mileage, with 22,000 miles covered between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 22,000 miles covered in the final fourteen months. This high-intensity usage suggests frequent motorway driving, which typically accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension, given that the April 2025 test at 119,426 miles flagged significant corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs. While these were likely replaced, the presence of corrosion at that stage indicates exposure to harsh road conditions or salt use. The buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear across the axle, as the 2023 test at 82,956 miles noted rear tyres were worn on the edge, which can indicate underlying alignment issues or worn shock absorbers.
