2021 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · SC70 GNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 67,448 miles passed, yet it revealed advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a failure in February 2025 where one tyre was actually below the legal limit, suggesting that the owner only addresses consumable items once they trigger an inspection failure. The mileage profile reflects consistent high use, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per annum which sits above the national average for a five-year-old vehicle. There is a jump of 20,000 miles between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests, and another 20,760 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This rapid accumulation suggests the car is likely used for frequent motorway commuting or long distances, which places specific stresses on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure identified excessively worn rear bushes on both front lower suspension arms. While these were likely replaced after the failure, the uneven wear noted on the front tyres just twelve months later suggests a persistent alignment issue or that the new components are not being monitored correctly. The 2024 record of pitted rear brake discs and fluctuating brakes also indicates the braking system is prone to corrosion or heatrelated, necessitating a physical check of pad thickness and disc surface to ensure no immediate replacement is required.
